Contact American Ergonomics Corporation, the leader in dynamic seat technology, is licensing Counter Balanced Motion (CBM) seating solutions for vehicular and office seating. This site contains the latest information on our innovative, industry specific applications of our patented seating technology. AEC dynamic seat concept is a seat motion mechanism that self adjusts to respond to the body's movements. The CBM Seat offers comfort and safety in a variety of vehicles, including passengers cars, truck, and aircraft. Using the CBM seating solution as a restraint reduces loads on the lower body, as well as reducing head trajectory. The CBM Seat deploys by momentum to absorb deceleration forces on the lower body. The Counter Balanced Motion (CBM) Seat is a dynamic mechanism that provides passive, automatic adjustment of the seat, backrest and headrest. The CBM is designed to provide comfort by supporting the motion of the seated passenger. This system is user activated without motors. The dynamic seat design concept is focused on the consideration of the many body posture changes performed during any seated task. The central goal is to provide seating support, motion, and body alignment. There are several chair designs that feature the arcuate seating motion patented by American Ergonomics Corporation. These include the Ergomax chair, and other variations.

This is achieved by the evaluation and design of workplaces, environments, job tasks, equipment, and processes in relationship to human capabilities and interactions in the workplace. CAP recommends that all furniture (chairs, desks) and other accessories are adjustable in order to meet individual's body size, type, and individual seating and working preferences. Studies have shown that effective use of ergonomic practices help to maintaining high levels of productivity, avoiding painful and costly employee injuries, and increased worker satisfaction. By designing the job around the person, employees will have a decreased risk of injury. To assist individuals in preventative measures, CAP provides: CAP recommends that you review our Assistive Technology section to obtain information on devices designed to eliminate or prevent dexterity disabilities associated with poor ergonomics, such as:

Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international multi-disciplinary refereed publication, with a 50 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people.

Whether or not your workstation is causing physical problems, a workstation that is properly set up can increase your productivity and quality of work life. Injury and illness are common in the workplace and costly to both you and your employer. Not only do they reduce your quality of life, but they also reduce your ability to be efficient and productive. In one study, over half of employees who used computers for at least 15 hours a week reported musculoskeletal problems in the first year of a new job. Most job-related injuries are caused by falls, repetitive movements, awkward postures, reaching, bending over, lifting heavy objects, applying pressure or force, or working with vibrating tools. Office ergonomics can help you be more comfortable at work while reducing stress and injury caused by awkward positions and repetitive tasks.

I'm what you might call an indoor enthusiast I've been lucky because I haven't experienced any kind of computer-related injury due to my prolonged use of computers , but it is a very real professional risk. I get some occasional soreness in my hands or wrists, mostly after marathon binges where I've clearly overdone it but that's about the extent of it. All too many of my friends have struggled with long-term back pain or hand pain . While you can (and should) exercise your body and hands to strengthen them, there's one part of this equation I've been ignoring. I've been on a quest for the ultimate computer desk for a few years now, and I've talked at length about the value of investing in a great chair . But I hadn't considered whether my current desk and chair is configured properly to fit my body. What about the ergonomics of your computer workstation? The OSHA has an official page on computer workstation ergonomics , which is a good starting point. But like all government documents, there's a lot more detail here than most people will ever need. The summary picture does give you an idea of what an ergonomic seating position looks like, though. How close is this to the way you're sitting right now?
