Study on Influence of Back Angle on Human Body Pressure Distribution

Article Preview

Abstract:

Through the study of the seat size parameter change on the body pressure distribution effect, the powerful references to comfort design of office chair were explored. By using Canadian XSENSOR X3 PRO V6 test system, human body pressure distribution and subjective comfort evaluation in different back angle of 6 objects were tested. The data were processed by statistical analysis software SPSS 16. Then the change of maximum pressure, average pressure, contact area of seat surface and backrest, as well as the vertical pressure distribution curve with the back angle were obtained. Finally the comfort indicators of daily office chair were determined based on body pressure distribution, and the most comfortable back angle of office chair were also solved. Thereby it can provide reference for those who want to design comfortable daily office chair.
