Loreto Task Chair Ergonomic Features

Synchronised Mechanism

Adjustment

This mechanism adjusts the angle

of both the back and seat

independently of each other with

a free float feature.

The mechanism can be locked in

a desired position or left in free

flow mode for maximum posture

and prevention of back fatigue.

Tension Control

The resistance of the seat back

can be adjusted when in the

seated position via a control

feature in accordance with the

users bodyweight.

Seat Height Adjustment

Allows the user to adjust the seat

height for maximum support and

comfort. The seat height can be

adjusted between 4 mm – mm.

Seat Depth Adjustment

The Loreto seat pad can be

adjusted to a create a larger area

and additional support at the

back of the users knees. The

users legs should be fully

supported to ensure no undue

stress or pressure is exerted to

the back or calves. This feature is

beneficial for tall users.

Lumbar Support

Adjustment

An adjustable lumbar insert is a

standard feature of Loreto

offering the user 3 different

positions of adjustment. This

ensures the users ‘S’ shape

posture can be achieved and

adjustments made according to

the users shape and size.

Arm Adjustment

Height Adjustable Arms are a

standard feature of the Loreto

Chair. The arms can be adjusted

between 185mm – 280mm. The

users arm contact should be at

90 degrees and the elbow should

be in contact with the arm rest to

provide support to the shoulders

and upper back.

Correct Sitting Positions

Healthy

Head is balanced on vertebral column. Neck muscles

relaxed.

Open Posture with chest leading and shoulders back

creates correct balance between neck shoulder and

upper limb muscles.

Lumbar spine upright and knees below the level of hips.

Increasing the angle between the trunk and thigh

encourages the spine into an upright posture which may

reduce and even disc pressure.

Unhealthy

Head sits anterior to body. Neck muscles support

weight of head leads to tension in neck muscles.

Shoulders rounded and chest muscles shortened

increases the risk of developing a work related upper

limb disorder.

Lumbar spine slumped and knees above the level of

hips. Leads to increased pressure through the lumbar

discs and excessive ligament and muscle stretch in

lumbar spine.
