Orthopedic chair for the student

The period of schooling is the most important stage in a child’s life. A properly equipped workplace is the key to successful learning and back health.

When choosing a student chair, many parents are wondering if it is worth overpaying for an orthopedic model. The answer is simple - it is worth it. Among the advantages of buying orthopedic furniture are the following:

• prevention of diseases of the spine and eyes;
• regulation of the correct position of the back, legs;
• ensuring active blood circulation;
• profitability and compactness of the workplace;
• comfort - the chair turns easily, changes height.

The orthopedic chair is shown as already with the existing diseases of the musculoskeletal system and eyes, and is also a good defense against possible problems with the spine, curvature of posture.

According to the design features of the backrest, there are three main types:

• solid back furniture - fixed fixation. Furniture with a stand helps to form a beautiful posture and exclude and fixes the position of the back anatomically correctly;
• double back model - well suited for the comfortable location of children without problems with the spine. Thanks to the segmented back design, you can relax your back muscles without changing the position of the spine, which eliminates slouching and curvature;
• roller model - this chair will serve as a good support for the spine.

Such a chair is characterized by a rigid structure for fixing the position of the child. The side holders and the head rest are used as auxiliary elements. The chair provides reliable fastening of the child, so various asymmetries of the shoulder section are excluded.

A school chair with leg support completely eliminates the possibility of back problems. The entire load moves on the lower legs, leaving the spine in a comfortable position. The center of gravity shifts, the back in this position is as relaxed as possible.

This model is perfect for practicing at home. The knees are placed on a special soft cushion, which ensures their reliable fixation. Furniture with a stand will help to form a beautiful posture and eliminate spinal tension.

This chair has no back and armrests. The fact is that when leaning on a support, the child shifts the center of gravity, deformation and curvature of the spine occurs. This model will help to avoid this.

For teenagers, basically, the so-called standing-sitting chair model is acquired. It is high enough so that the legs remain almost straight, while the pelvis is securely fixed in the seat.Asymmetry is excluded in such a chair, the blood supply is also not disturbed.

Unlike conventional chairs, where the load on the back is unevenly distributed, the orthopedic student's chair reliably fixes the spine and helps to relax the muscles in those areas where it is needed.

The back of the chair should be a good support for the schoolboy's skeleton, support the back and even correct the stoop and other minor defects of posture. It must be anatomically correct form.

It is better to choose models with a rigid back that will provide comfortable fixation of the spine. Too soft construction can sag. A good option would be an adjustable backrest on the pendulum supports.

Children's orthopedic chairs, as a rule, are made without armrests. Often the child automatically relies on them and slouches. If you still want to buy a chair or chair with armrest, give preference to quality models of famous brands.

Tables and chairs for schoolchildren should be placed in such a way as not to harm the spine and the vision of the child.The height of the chair varies from 36 to 53 cm from the floor.

The orthopedic chair should be light and durable. It is advisable to purchase models made of aluminum, steel. Such material will ensure the strength of the structure, even if the child jumps on the chair and rolls on it.

The chair should not only be durable; safe paints, fabrics and varnishes should be used in its production.

To summarize, we can note the parameters that are worth paying attention to when buying a student chair:

• back structure;
• height adjustability;
• safe materials;
• the presence of auxiliary elements - armrests, roller for the head, legs;
• multifunctionality;
• compactness.

Due to the variety of colors and forms, you can easily choose a model, regardless of gender and age of the child.

For boy It is desirable to choose the options of blue, blue, green colors. If a first grader is interested in a model with images of loved onesheroes, colorful upholstery, it is better for a teenager to choose a stylish monophonic option.

To girls younger school age will come to taste models of pale pink, salad, yellow flowers. Teenagers can be offered neutral versions of pastel shades - peach, beige, milky, light brown, gray.

It is worth mentioning that too bright colors can interfere with the learning process and even annoy the younger student. It is necessary to choose the color of the chair based on the personal preferences of the child and the advice of psychologists and teachers.
