Disclosed is a functional chair capable of adjusting a height of a seat. The functional chair includes a first seat configured to support a left pelvis, a second seat provided at a right side of the first seat, a frame provided below the first seat and the second seat, a backrest protruding from one side of the first and second seats, a seat pressure measuring unit which is respectively provided on the first seat and the second seat, a controller which receives the first pressure value and the second pressure value from the seat pressure measuring unit, a memory which stores in advance drive command information corresponding to a difference between the first pressure value and the second pressure value, a first height adjusting unit provided between the first seat and the frame, and a second height adjusting unit provided between the second seat and the frame.

Sensory upright chair for applying deep touch pressure and method of use

A sensory upright chair system to provide deep touch pressure to a person and method of use. The system includes a frame, a pump, a pair of inflatable air tubes, a pressure release valve, hoses and hardware, a pressure sensor, and a fabric cover. The pump and pressure sensor are connected to a power supply, and connected to the air tubes and pressure release valve via hoses and hardware. Switching on the power supply provides controlled inflation to the air tubes. A user sits in the chair between deflated air tubes. As the pressure in the air tubes increase, deep touch pressure is applied to the occupant's body where the air tubes contact the occupant. The fabric cover provides a comfortable barrier between the occupant and the air tubes. Deep touch pressure is thus applied to the occupant via contact with the tubes through the fabric cover.
