Scandex is the top of the mind choice for podiatrists the world over, Podiatrists who require a chair (for themselves as well as their staff) with superb back/lumbar support to help minimize lower back problems and reduce the potential for musculoskeletal disorders turn to Scandex.
Scandex Swedish ergonomic chairs and stools are designed for proper seating so the lumbar area is supported and the spine maintains the proper "S" position. The most popular seating for podiatrists are the Bruno Ergonomic Office Chair, Series 300 and the Björn Ergonomic Saddle Stool, Series 400/600. Both automatically seat a podiatrist in a correct posture. The Bjorn Saddle Stool also positions a podiatrist nearer to the patient which reduces overall strain on the back, shoulders and neck muscles. The Björn Ergonomic Saddle Stool, Series 400/600 is recommended if space is tight. Arm supports are available options of each of these models.
"A poor body position is largely responsible for the ill effects of prolonged sitting. Poor body positions can also originate from job design that requires employees to sit uninterrupted for longer than one hour. The duration of sitting, along with the shape of the body in a sitting position is the most critical risk factor," explained Sven Emilsson, Director of Sales at Scandex.
He continued, "Podiatrists understand this very well and the demand for our Swedish ergonomic seating has increased significantly so much so that we have developed a new division to cater to their specific needs."
Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!
