An assistive device for standing tasks allows for a reduction of effort on the part of a user while engaged in tasks or activities that are stationary or nearly stationary that lessens the strain on the bones, joints, and muscles normally used for standing while ensuring a proper alignment of the pelvis and spine.

The present disclosure is directed to a method of collecting and using data obtained from an intelligent automated chair to optimize workflow and increase a user or group's health and productivity. Sensors in the intelligent automated chair can include motion, touch, heart rate, weight, presence, sound, keystroke, etc. In addition, posture, health, and productivity data are collected and compared over periods of time along with a learning algorithm to recommend specific operating models to increase a user or group's overall posture, health, and productivity. The methods and systems are configured to recommend action steps based on usage that can include a chair training program, nutritional training program, mental health training, bonus consideration, rewards program, advancement consideration, etc. Furthermore, the metrics and recommendations can assist with addressing issues associated with absenteeism and presenteeism. Lastly, data collected can be used to create forecasting models based on productivity and health cost.

A quick-fitting stool includes a main plate, side plates, and corner protectors having same number as number of the side plates. Each of the side plates and the corner protectors are alternately arranged to form a circumferentially closed side wall. The corner protectors extend in a height direction, and the corner protectors includes first mounting surfaces and second mounting surfaces spliced to two adjacent side plates respectively. The first mounting surfaces and the second mounting surfaces are detachably connected to the two adjacent side plates. An outer side surface of the corner protectors is flush with an outer side surface of the side plates. The main plate is horizontally placed on upper side surfaces of the side plates. The side plates support the main plate, and is connected with an upper side edge of at least one of the side plates.

The dynamic postural device comprises two oscillating elements having respectively: —a seating portion to support a buttock of a user; a supporting portion opposite to the seating portion and of a substantially convex shape; in which the supporting portion is adapted to allow the oscillation of the respective oscillating element as a result of the seating of the user.

An integrated folding foot rest includes a table-board supporting seat, the bottom of which is provided with four break angle bending portions. Each of the break angle bending portions is connected to a leg folding mechanism. The leg folding mechanism includes a pedestal, a rotating seat and a leg. The pedestal is formed by symmetrically splicing a front pedestal and a back pedestal. Lower portions of the front and back pedestals are respectively provided with rotary limiting grooves, and two end portions of the rotary limiting grooves are respectively provided with limiting ends. One side of the rotating seat is provided with a telescopic slideway, the telescopic slideway is internally provided with a T-shaped locking piece, two ends of a limiting portion of the locking piece are correspondingly embedded into the rotary limiting grooves, respectively, and a pressure spring is annularly sleeved on the telescopic portion of the locking piece.
