Abstract:
1. The method for finding thigh-support means for most optimal blood circulation in the lower extremities of a seated person comprises the following steps: providing an instrument capable of measuring at least one blood circulation parameter for blood flow circulating through the lower extremities of a seated person; providing a seating device for use in measuring the circulation of blood through the lower extremities of a person; measuring the aforementioned at least one blood circulation parameter in the lower extremities of a group of individuals when each individual sits on the aforementioned seating device without use of thigh-supporting means; calculating the average value of the measured blood circulation parameters for a seated person without use of thigh-supporting means; providing thigh-supporting means of varying geometry, rigidity, and elasticity; repeating the aforementioned measurement for each individual with use of the aforementioned thigh-supporting means; calculating the average value of the aforementioned blood-circulation parameter for thigh-supporting means of each specific geometry, rigidity, elasticity, or combination thereof; and finding thigh-supporting means of a geometry, rigidity, and elasticity that produces the most optimal blood-circulation parameter.
