Abstract:
1. A seat adapted to receive a person and that is adapted to press upon the tissue of the person's back in the vicinity of the spinous processes and transverse processes of the vertebrae of the person's spine, the seat comprising: a body portion adapted to be under pressure from the person and to encompass a substantial portion of the person's back; at least one para-spinal pad connected to said body portion; said at least one para-spinal pad defining at least one first pad portion adapted to permit transfer of pressure from said transverse processes of the person's vertebrae generally directly through the tissue of the person's back to said body portion; said at least one para-spinal pad defining a recess adapted to be centered about the person's spinous processes along substantially the length of the person's spine; said recess being of a width adapted to be less than the width of the transverse processes of the person's vertebrae and greater than the width of the person's spinous processes; at least one scapula area pad connected to said body portion; said at least one scapula area pad adapted to be spaced from the person's spine of the scapula area and covering a portion of the person's back generally adjacent the spine of the scapula area; at least one lateral pad connected to said body portion adapted to generally cover a lateral portion of the person's back; and said at least one scapula area pad, para-spinal pad, and lateral pad working in conjunction with each other and adapted to partially or completely encircle the spine of the scapula area of a person to space the spine of the scapula of a person from the body portion, and as a consequence provide a gap of free space for providing substantially unimpeded biomechanical movement of the spine of the scapula of the person.
