Description: 
The balance chair is an important measure that can lead to a reduction in long-term health problems for people with protracted problems in the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine and also helps eliminate chronic symptoms associated with these problems, such as various muscle pain and discomfort, which can be caused by these long-term difficulties. The balance chair is intended primarily for users who are forced to sit for a long time, whether at work or during some other activity. The Czech SME has developed and successfully introduced to the market the balance chair with a seat that is fully movable in all directions. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the position of the user’s body not only according to the user's subjective feelings, but also so that all deep back muscles are involved in these movements. At the same time, all abdominal muscles are involved when sitting on this balance chair, including the deep abdominal muscles, the long-term strengthening of which leads to improved statics of the entire spine. This helps to eliminate the unwanted painful muscle symptoms associated with incorrect posture. In addition, the offered balance chair enables the so-called dynamic way of sitting, during which all paravertebral muscles are permanently activated. This differs significantly from passive sitting on competing chairs, where there is a disorder of the statics of the spine and a general weakening of both the paravertebral muscles and the abdominal muscles. Another advantage is the shortened backrest, which allows permanent active engagement of the broad back muscle and the two main shoulder muscles during the session, which forces the body to stay upright. The offered balance chair can be recommended as a preventive aid for all those who suffer from long-term back pain and those who have a sedentary job.
