Special measurements show that use of the FlowMotion
forward-tilt function activates abdominal and back
muscles. Activating these muscles in turn stabilises the
lumbar spine. Moreover, these measurements show that
the forward-tilt action also activates the lower spine
region. This increases the supply of nutrients to the
intervertebral discs.
Health and biomechanics
The FlowMotion mechanism promotes dynamic sitting.
The FlowMotion mechanism enables
the user to change to a forward-tilting
position by shifting his/her weight.
The ID Chair provides
support in every position.
Movement activates the muscles
and reduces the strain on interver-
tebral discs.
A study conducted by the
Institute for Biomechanics
of the Swiss Federal Institute
of Technology Zurich (ETH)
has shown that the scope
for movement offered by
ID Chair is extensively used.
This promotes healthy,
dynamic sitting.
