University tests chairs for dentists
Back pain is a major problem in the dental practice. The doctor's body is placed under extreme strain by the working positions. A survey showed that more than two thirds of dentists in Germany complain of spinal disorders, and almost half suffer from posture-related headaches. This means that neck, back and spinal problems are unfortunately the rule, not the exception.
The Salli saddle chair really helps dentists. This is proven by the scientific study "Dental practice: analysis of the sitting position", which was carried out by the most prestigious university in Brazil, UNICAMP São Paulo. This was the first time that saddle and conventional chairs were scientifically and systematically compared on this scale. The focus was on the aspects of cervical and back pain, the center of gravity of the coronal plane and subjective sitting satisfaction.
Salli offers the objectively and subjectively highest seating comfort
In a scientific comparison of classic dentist chairs with the Salli saddle chair with 84 dental students, it was shown after 10 months of practical testing: Salli causes, among other things, a significant reduction in muscular and skeletal problems such as neck pain, as well as an improvement in the projection of the center of gravity of the lateral plane. In addition, the Salli chair was rated better in all aspects of seating satisfaction than conventional work chairs.
Divided seat for best ergonomics
"The seating concept of the Salli saddle chair with its split seat is the best way to work ergonomically," explains Stefan Ernst from REHAPE, who sells the Finnish Salli saddle chair in Germany because he is convinced of it. "The standing sitting position is very well implemented on the ergonomic chairs. Sitting on them is unusual at first. But after a short time, you no longer want to be without the naturally upright feeling and relaxed working from your everyday working life."
Clear case: Salli saddle chair protects health
Researcher Giovana Gouvêa, head of the current university study, emphasizes that despite ergonomic recommendations, dentists and dental professionals often adopt inappropriate and incorrect sitting positions that can be detrimental to their health. The right choice of seating can therefore effectively prevent spinal disorders as well as neck and back pain.
