👉 Sitting engineering, also known as seated design or desk ergonomics, is a specialized field within mechanical and industrial engineering that focuses on optimizing the design of workspaces, particularly seating arrangements, to enhance comfort, reduce strain, and improve productivity for individuals who spend extended periods seated. This involves understanding human anatomy, biomechanics, and the principles of ergonomics to create adjustable, supportive seating solutions that accommodate various body types and postures. Key aspects include selecting appropriate chair height, backrest angle, lumbar support, armrests, and seat depth, as well as ensuring that the workspace allows for proper leg extension and hip clearance. By minimizing physical discomfort and fatigue, sitting engineering aims to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and promote overall well-being in office environments and other settings where prolonged sitting is common.
