Is an ergonomic chair an IQ tax? Is it worth buying?

The human body’s definition of comfort varies widely. What is comfortable for you may not be comfortable for another person.
So far, there is no absolute standard for ergonomics, and international standards such as Microsoft and IEA (International Ergonomics Institute) are different.

definition
According to the definition of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA), ergonomics is “the study of various factors such as human anatomy, physiology and psychology in a certain work environment; the study of people, machines and the environment Interaction; a discipline that studies how people uniformly consider issues such as work efficiency, human health, safety, and comfort at work, in family life, and on vacation. Professor Ohara of Mikiha University in Japan believes: Ergonomics is the work of exploring the human body Abilities and their limits, so that the work people engage in tends to adapt to various characteristics of human anatomy, geology, and psychology.

origin
Ergonomics originated in Europe and the United States. It was originally used in industrial society to explore the coordinated relationship between humans and machines when large-scale production and use of mechanical facilities began. It has a history of more than 40 years as an independent discipline. Military science and technology in World War II began to apply the principles and methods of ergonomics in the design of the inner compartments of tanks and aircraft, how to enable people to operate and fight effectively within their capabilities, and to keep people as long as possible To reduce fatigue in a small space, that is, to properly handle the coordination relationship between man, machine and environment. After the Second World War, various countries quickly and effectively applied the practice and research results of ergonomics to space technology, industrial production, architecture and interior design. In 1960, the International Ergonomics Association was founded.
Nowadays, social development has passed through the post-industrial society and the information society, which attaches great importance to “people-oriented” and serving people. Ergonomics emphasizes starting from the people themselves and comprehensively analyzing all people’s lives and production activities under the premise of taking people as the main body. new ideas.

In fact, people-things-environment are a system that are closely connected. In the future, “it is expected to use ergonomics to actively and efficiently control the living environment.”
Since 2003, ergonomics has been linked to interior design. Its meaning is: taking human beings as the subject, using human body measurement, physiological, psychological measurement and other means and methods to study the relationship between human body structure, function, psychology, mechanics and other aspects and the indoor environment. Reasonably coordinate the relationship to suit people’s physical and mental activity requirements and achieve the best performance. The goals should be safety, health, high efficiency and comfort. Ergonomics and related disciplines and the interrelationship of people, indoor environments and facilities in ergonomics.

But ergonomics cannot give you a good waist. If there is a waist problem, not to mention how expensive an ergonomic chair is, even thousands of yuan in surgical fees cannot completely restore it.

The difference between an ergonomic chair and an ordinary chair is the deep space for sitting. A deep chair will reserve strong support space for the thighs and buttocks.
