7 ErgoFit What is ErgoFit? ErgoFit is a method of determining the right chair for each individual in an organisation. Contact one of our team to have a ErgoFit assessment conducted. How does ErgoFit work? ErgoFit is a simple questionnaire format which determines key ergonomic issues and personal preferences and needs. ErgoFit provides a simple diagnostic outcome, which suggests a chair configuration which would be well suited to the individual. Facts: Professor Cunniffe* states When sat correctly, the distribution of body weight is 65% seat, 4% backrest, 12% armrest and 18% supported feet. Good seating design accommodates the problem of sitting pressure by ensuring its controlled distribution. This is achieved by contouring the body contact areas of the chair. Of equal importance are chair size, range of adjustment and level of upholstery. These features also contribute to good user posture. * Professor T W Cunniffe PhD, F ErgS, MDINZ, Ergonomic Specialist.
