    CHAIR DESIGN - SOCIAL CAUSE

    KYPHOSIS
    Kyphosis is a spinal deformity that causes a curve in the top half of your back. From
    side-on, you may appear to be significantly hunched or even C-shaped in your
    posture.

    People with Kyphosis will often look hunched over and have a rounded upper back.
    They also tend to slide their pelvis down the chair to compensate for this.
    This can be caused by things like posterior pelvic tilt, or Osteoporosis. As you can
    imagine, Kyphosis can have a severe effect on your ability to look around and
    socialise if your head is stooped over.

    Kyphosis can also cause back pain, nerve problems and numbness, problems with
    breathing, and even pressure ulcers on areas of the spine that are in contact with the
    backrest of your chair.

    When you’re looking for the best seating for Kyphosis, you need to make sure every
    stage of the spine is thought about. From the hips to the head, each area needs to be
    catered to the get the most support and comfort possible.
