Most of our contemporaries who lead a sedentary lifestyle find it difficult to monitor their posture. Having relaxed and slouched while working on the computer, they forget that the correct position of the spine is the key to the health of the whole organism and the beauty of the body. Over the past decades, many techniques have been created for correcting posture and correcting spinal problems.
The kneeling chair is gaining more and more recognition as an elementary way to acquire impeccable posture. Its use is necessary for students and office employees - anyone whose work involves prolonged work in a sedentary position.
Purpose of an orthopedic chair
Kneeling chairs were first designed in European countries in the 70s of the twentieth century. Schoolchildren rocking on chairs instinctively take free, relaxed poses, relieving the load from their backs.
This is explained by the fact that sitting on an ordinary chair in a horizontal position creates an arbitrary desire for the pelvic region to deviate the lumbar region, forcing the body to slouch. The kneeling chair, due to the deviation of the body, forces the spine to be held vertically.
Knee orthopedic chairs are designed:
- to reduce the load on the back muscles;
- to redistribute body weight and pressure on the spine during prolonged sitting;
- to form the correct demeanor;
- to relieve fatigue, increase performance due to the position of the body in a natural position;
- to improve the functioning of the digestive system by eliminating compression of the abdominal cavity;
- to restore muscle blood supply;
- to free breathing due to the expansion of the lungs.
Such features allow the chair to be used not only by schoolchildren who have not yet fully developed supporting apparatus, but also by adults who spend several hours in a sitting position, for example, at a computer.
The property of normalizing the functions of the internal organs of the abdominal cavity makes it possible to use an orthopedic chair with emphasis on the knees for pregnant women. A chair with support is designed not only to correct posture, but to prevent disorders that occur in the spine due to incorrect postures.
The latest research by modern scientists has confirmed the preventive effect of a chair with support on the knees; orthopedists recommend it not only to patients with spinal diseases, but also to healthy people.
What is it and how is it different from the usual
A knee chair is an orthopedic structure made of wood or metal, designed to form the correct position of the spine, normalize posture, as well as the entire musculoskeletal system. The fact is that when sitting on an ordinary chair in a horizontal position, a person has an involuntary desire to relax the lower back, which leads to its curvature. In this case, the main load falls on the muscles of the buttocks, spine, sacrum, tailbone, and neck.
The difference between a kneeling chair is that it forces you to keep your spine vertical, since your body is in a tilted position. Thanks to this, the load moves from the lower back and falls on the leg muscles. The spine is in a similar position when a person stands. The design of the orthopedic chair provides for support for the knees, the seat is tilted, but there are no armrests.
There are also kneeling chairs with a backrest.
Now such an orthopedic chair is offered for adults and children. A person sitting on such a structure involuntarily straightens his shoulders and chest. The chair allows you to form correct posture in children and prevent spinal problems in adults. A knee pad is available on all models; it prevents you from sliding down. A person sitting on a chair can independently move the center of gravity, ultimately occupying the most comfortable position. Such products are recommended for use at home, in educational institutions and, of course, in workplaces.
This orthopedic design is a fairly tough method of combating spinal curvature caused by incorrect posture; therefore, before purchasing and using it, consultation with a specialist is recommended.
Principles of the impact of an orthopedic chair
In a traditional sitting position, the weight of the body puts pressure on the lower back, and to compensate for this you have to lean on your elbows. The use of an ergonomic orthopedic chair makes it possible to partially redistribute pressure from the lower spinal region towards the knees and hips.
Despite its unusual appearance, the chair is able to relieve the load on the lower spine, reduce compression of the blood vessels in this area, and equally distribute body weight over three support points.
It can be used for training and posture correction. With its help, a landing is formed that recreates the natural position of the back, reminiscent of it in a standing position.
This occurs due to an increase in the angle between the direction of the back and the line of the hips, which leads to a decrease in pressure on the intervertebral discs. As a result, the action of the spine is directed towards arching as opposed to compression and deformation. Shifting the orientation of the load to the center of the body favors the restoration of the normal curvature of the back.
With the help of a kneeling chair you can get:
- ensuring a straight back during landing;
- failure to control posture;
- straightened chest, freeing breathing;
- stopping compression of the abdominal cavity, improving digestion;
- reduced fatigue, increased performance due to natural body posture;
- restoration of muscle nutrition, improved blood supply to cartilage and bone structure due to equal distribution of pressure on the lumbar and pelvic area;
- formation of a natural posture for the back;
- reducing the load on the spinal discs.
Kneeling chair - what is it, design features
The design of the kneeling chair compensates for the unnaturalness of the sitting posture.
The correct position on the chair, that is, with your feet resting on the floor and your back pressed tightly against the backrest, involves maintaining a 90-degree angle in the hip joint. This is the necessary anatomical minimum. In fact, a person, while sitting, leans towards the table and the angle decreases, creating excessive stress on the small muscles around the vertebrae.
In the correct position, your feet should rest on the floor and your knees should be bent at 90 degrees. But this position is uncomfortable: the legs are pulled forward, thereby further reducing the angle at the hip joint.
In order to lean on the back and put your elbows on the tabletop, and not hang on your weight, you need to sit, literally resting against the edge of the table. If a person works on a computer, this situation is simply impossible.
An orthopedic knee chair allows you to bring the sitting position as close as possible to the lying position and thereby relieve the joints and spine:
- The seat is tilted at 45 degrees. The angle at the hip joint increases to 135, and the back rests firmly against the back of the chair. There is no need to support the lower back, since the load on the hip joint is removed;
- knees bent 90 degrees or more, as when riding a horse. They rest against 2 soft stops;
- in this position, a person naturally rests his chest on the table and places his elbows on the tabletop.
This position is anatomically correct and does not require muscle tension or constant control.
Current models
The prototype of the first orthopedic chair was designed in 1970 by the Danish doctor Mendel, who was engaged in developments that could solve the problem of improper posture of schoolchildren at their desks. Children's bodies usually shifted forward. The doctor created a sketch with a seat angle of 15 degrees. The seats were not very comfortable: the children gradually slid forward.
After some time, the Norwegian designer Opsvik proposed another version of the orthopedic chair, to which they added a knee rest that prevented the seated person from sliding down. Evenly distributing the load between the knees and hips allowed the back to involuntarily straighten.
The kneeling chair was granted a patent in 1989 based on a design commissioned by airline ticket offices. This solved the problems of occupational illnesses of cashiers who were forced to stay in cramped spaces for long hours, without being able to warm up or change their position. In order to facilitate their work, a chair was designed that provides three different positions:
- regular sitting;
- half-standing position with fragmentary support to relieve the load on the legs;
- an inclined landing with support on the knees, called the Scandinavian landing, which relieves the back almost completely.
During the years of perestroika, such a chair began to be produced in our country, copying it from foreign models. However, it did not provide comfortable sitting due to the mistakes of the developers, who missed important nuances that create the opportunity for unloading.
Nowadays there are various samples of children's and adult chairs on sale. The support built into the chair makes it possible to relieve the load on the spine. The one who sits on it straightens his shoulders and chest. All products are equipped with soft support for the knee joints to prevent slipping down. Moving the center of gravity when sitting allows you to find your preferred position.
Kneeling chairs available for sale:
- on wheels;
- with back support;
- with a safe stand;
- with a curved base (like a rocking chair).
The choice is made taking into account individual requirements: height, body weight, personal comfort requirements.
The orthopedic knee chair for schoolchildren is actually considered a serious means of resisting scoliosis and poor posture, which is why it is necessary to consult a doctor before purchasing this device.

According to doctors, the advantages of an orthopedic chair with emphasis on the knees are:
- in reducing pressure on the back muscles;
- in unloading the coccygeal, lumbar, sacral zones;
- in normalizing blood circulation in the thigh area;
- in exercising the body in physiologically impeccable contortion;
- in relieving excess pressure on the spine;
- in straightening the chest cavity, normalizing breathing;
- in admissibility of use for pregnant women;
- in the potential of performing procedures to prevent spinal curvature at home.
Children's knee chair reduces the risk of osteochondrosis, disc anomalies, and intervertebral hernias. The body assumes a natural, relaxed position that does not require excessive zeal from the muscles.
The importance and significance of the chair for schoolchildren cannot be overestimated, since it is at this age that postural disorders develop, the elimination and correction of which will require enormous effort and time.
Minuses
Using a kneeling chair is not suitable for everyone, and sometimes some inconveniences arise. Weaknesses are:
- the appearance of pain in the knee joints;
- sliding out of the seat;
- numbness of the feet;
- unregulated height level of the structure.
These imperfections are conditional, since most often they appear as a result of an incorrectly selected sample.
Contraindications
Despite the obvious benefits of using a kneeling chair, its use can cause some difficulties and discomfort. Among the disadvantages of this design are:
- painful sensations in the knees;
- slipping from the seat;
- numbness of the legs;
- height of the structure.
However, such shortcomings can be caused by incorrect selection of a chair, so they are relative. At the same time, there are contraindications to the use of the design, among them:
- congenital anomalies of the spine;
- presence of back injuries;
- deformed spine;
- third stage of scoliosis;
- prepatellar bursitis;
- changes in the hip bones;
- Osgood-Schlatter disease with severe pain.

Chairs for schoolchildren
Many parents are concerned about the difficulties in forming impeccable posture for their child. It is impossible to teach children to sit quietly who are in constant motion, hurrying, fidgeting, and when they get tired, they simply sag.
Such parents leave excellent reviews about orthopedic chairs designed for schoolchildren. Preference is given to chairs without wheels, which straighten the back and allow children to swing on them without damaging the floor covering, which the children really like.
Orthopedic chairs with a balancing effect are appropriate not only for student age. It is the convenience and ability to swing that attracts adults with the possibility of peace, calm, and relaxation. Similar models can be used during pregnancy. The domestic industry produces several design options.
Decent reviews about the kneeling chair under the “Gorbunok” brand, which can withstand up to a hundredweight, suitable not only for schoolchildren, but also for adults. The model is conveniently adjustable, allows you to change the position in three different positions, and the height of the chair corresponds to any stereotypical desks.
Types of bases
Kneeling chairs have several types of bases.
The simplest and most affordable option is equipped with a stable support in the form of legs or slats.
The presence of wheels will ensure mobility. On such a chair you can easily move along the desktop or around the room without getting up from it. There will also be no problems moving the product, which usually has a lot of weight. To avoid damage to the floor covering, the rollers have a rubberized layer.
Curved runners similar to a rocking chair make it possible to balance and choose any position while maintaining the anatomical shape of the spine.
Choosing between comfort and correct posture
Consumers often confuse the concepts of comfort and the orthopedic properties of a chair. In practice, it becomes clear that everything is just the opposite: a comfortable sitting position causes irreparable harm to the spine and spoils posture. That's why you can't opt for convenience.
It is also undesirable to choose furniture based on external features. Aesthetics is a very important component for preference, but for a chair, its orthopedic properties and maximum ease of use are considered important qualities.
Appearance and configuration should be considered last when choosing a kneeling chair intended to correct or prevent postural disorders or spinal diseases.
Nuances of use
An orthopedic chair will only be beneficial if it is configured correctly. There are no universal models, since all people have different heights and builds. To ensure an even posture, you need to adjust the distance between the seat and the knee pads. It should be minimal for a person of small stature. An orthopedic chair cannot be compared with ordinary chairs, but the person sitting on it should not experience significant discomfort.
Experts recommend matching a table to a kneeling chair, and not vice versa. Determining the desired height of furniture is easy. It is enough to bend your arm at the elbow and move it 15 cm away from you - the tabletop should be at this level. To ensure maximum comfort, you should sit on a kneeling chair, just like a regular chair. The distance between the seat and the table should be such that your elbows do not hang down.
It is not advisable to choose a kneeling chair based on external features. The product should be considered a medical device and not a piece of furniture.

Indications and restrictions
The use of a chair with support is indicated for people with disorders of the support system. It is appropriate to use it for spinal disorders:
- for osteochondrosis;
- for osteoarthritis;
- with instability of any part of the spine;
- with manifestations of inflammation in the back;
- when recovering from spinal fractures;
- to prevent the consequences of injuries;
- for scoliosis.
When planning to purchase an orthopedic knee chair, it is advisable to consult with a specialist who understands the problem, since its use is associated with maintaining health. Despite all the positive reviews and useful qualities, the device has limitations. It may be contraindicated in people:
- with congenital abnormalities of the spine;
- with back injuries;
- with extreme stage of spinal deformity;
- with osteochondropathy of the tibial tuberosity (Osgood-Schlatter), complicated by severe pain.
An unsuccessfully chosen design or its erroneous use can, instead of being beneficial, aggravate the problem - intensify the course of certain diseases.
Contraindications and precautions
Before purchasing a kneeling chair with or without a backrest, you should consult a doctor: therapist, rheumatologist, orthopedist, neurologist. The design can be used only if there are no contraindications. Otherwise, instead of the expected benefit, existing problems may worsen. It is unacceptable to replace a regular chair with a kneeling one:
- For congenital pathologies of the spine.
- Spinal column injuries of varying severity.
- Degenerative diseases of the hip bones.
- Osgood-Schlatter disease, which is characterized by severe pain.
- Third stage of scoliosis.

How to do it yourself
The specificity of the model is its elementary design. In fact, this is a device that has one seat plus two supports under the knees. Sometimes the support is made solid. However, the cost of a kneeling chair most often exceeds the prices of other models. The unpretentiousness of the mechanism allowed craftsmen to make a kneeling chair with their own hands. It turned out to be elementary.
To make the model, you need only three sets of bars: one back and two front to hold the main weight, as well as two in a horizontal position to support the knees. They can be fastened using sticks, for example, from a mop. Even for a homemade product, it is important not to miss the ability to adjust height and slope. This requirement can be realized using additional holes for securing horizontal bars. The location of these mounts depends on the person's height and weight.
The uprights of the chair are made from fragments of bars and fixed with metal holders. The top of the structure is covered with suitable overlays and covered with fabric. The most simple, cheap model of a chair with a support is ready.
Step-by-step manufacturing algorithm
Every person with basic carpentry skills can make an orthopedic stool with their own hands. The design with a back will be somewhat more complicated, so it is better to start with a simpler model. There are many freely available schemes with standard sizes, but it is better to calculate them individually. How comfortable the kneeling chair will be for children or adults depends on how the drawing is made.
Before you start making the product, you need to stock up on materials and tools. Required:
- three sets of beams: one for the back, two for the knee supports and two more for the facade, the latter are designed to hold the main load;
- metal holders;
- plywood sheet;
- upholstery material;
- foam;
- saw or jigsaw;
- drill or screwdriver;
- Grinder.
Making a kneeling chair with your own hands will not cause difficulties if you follow simple instructions:
- Saw the bars into pieces in accordance with the dimensions indicated in the drawing.
- Connect the prepared elements, taking into account adding strips of the same thickness between them.
- Attach 2 bars at the bottom perpendicular to the double supports, which will act as a base.
- Attach a bar to the upper edge of the seat support. If you plan to adjust the height of the kneeling chair, you need to cut grooves on the back side.
- Connect the knee rest to the seat base through the axle.
- Secure the jumper under the grooves.
- Cut two blanks for the stand and seat from a sheet of plywood.
- Glue foam rubber, upholster it with leatherette or thick fabric, and secure the elements to the main structure.
If desired, you can install rollers; to do this, you need to make suitable holes in the base and install them. It is advisable to treat the joints with construction glue, and fix the support beams with metal corners - a couple of simple manipulations will greatly increase the reliability and durability of the product. Thus, you can make an orthopedic chair without a back in the form of a saddle even at home.

Schematic illustration
The modern kneeling chair is called a smart chair. They are now made in different countries - elementary devices made of wood, as well as ingenious adjustable designs. On the Internet you can find drawings of a kneeling chair with your own hands.
Craftsmen willingly exchange photo and video materials with diagrams and drawings on numerous platforms, and give recommendations for assembly. The drawing of a kneeling chair with dimensions indicates only the shape and size, and you have to select the materials yourself. It depends on the purpose of the sample.
The simplest analogue of a smart chair for beginners is a kneeling stool, which is not inferior in orthopedic qualities to industrial designs. Much more difficult to manufacture is a kneeling chair with a rounded support (rocking chair), which is most preferred by children. To alternate work with rest, more complex devices have been developed, equipped with two positions - standard working and reclining for relaxation.
It is possible to upgrade the chair into a mobile version by attaching wheels to the base. It is important to equip the smart chair with soft knee support. An excessively hard seat and support will not only be uncomfortable, but will also lead to worsening illnesses.
Popular manufacturers and characteristics of chair models
The cost of a chair largely depends on the manufacturer and the presence of a backrest. There are Chinese, Russian and European models on the market.
In our country, Olympus kneeling chairs are most popular. User reviews regarding these pieces of furniture are only positive. In addition, the cost of such a device is low when compared with foreign models. For example, a chair from Health Postures Stance Chair costs about 2 thousand dollars. A Russian development can be purchased for 100-200 dollars. At the same time, in terms of quality and functionality, Russian-made chairs are in no way inferior to their foreign counterparts. In addition, almost all kneeling chairs fit a standard table height, which is selected by adjusting the seat height.
Comparative characteristics of the most popular Russian-made models:

Very good reviews of the Smartstool kneeling chair with backrest. In addition to the characteristics described above, the KM01V model is equipped with a gas lift, which allows you to adjust the seat height without even getting up from the chair. The manufacturer has provided the ability to change the backrest tilt and height. And the knee pad can be installed in different positions, that is, it is completely adjustable according to a person’s height.
The chair has compact roller wheels that allow you to freely move away from the table and move closer to it. Model KM01V is suitable for both children from 6 years old and adults. In reviews, the Smartstool KM01B kneeling chair is also called a growing chair.
The manufacturer improved the model in April 2021. The number of knee pad positions has been increased to four. The foam is compacted to prevent premature wear of the pillows.
The KM01V chair allows you to take a resting position. This is very important at the beginning of using the structure, when it is quite difficult to sit for a long time in an unusual position for the body.
I would especially like to mention the Smartstool KW02B model. A distinctive feature of this chair is that it has a knee pad pushed forward. This was done so that the chair could be used by a person with a large weight. There are very good reviews about this kneeling chair; obese people do not feel discomfort when using it. The model is also suitable for people with long legs. The chair has wheels that allow you to move it freely even while sitting on it. Recommended user height is from 135 cm, but not higher than 180 cm.
Industrial structures
The first company to develop and produce kneeling chairs in our country is Smartchair. The professionals working in it have studied many models in recent years. In consultation with orthopedic specialists, they regularly adjust product designs.
You can find products from Chinese, Russian and European manufacturers on sale. Their cost is determined by many factors - from the brand to the availability of accessories. Domestic chairs (for example, “Olympus”) are no worse than foreign ones, but they differ in price. Customer reviews are quite positive.
When choosing an orthopedic chair, you should ask about its characteristics. It is important to carry out individual selection, taking into account the height, age, build of the user, and the height of the desktop. It's easy to test ease of use. To do this, you need to sit on the seat, tuck your forearm and tilt your arm away from you by 0.15 m. The distance from the elbow to the floor will show the level of the table.
During the purchasing process, you should focus on whether the device has:
- a synchronous mechanism that allows the backrest and seat to automatically follow the movements of the seated person;
- backrest adjustment;
- negative seat angle;
- armrests;
- back height adjustment.
How to use it correctly
Before sitting on a kneeling chair, it is important to choose the correct height of the structure. It needs to be adjusted based on the person’s height and build. Typically, models are equipped with at least three levels. Therefore, the distance between the upper and lower cushion should be reduced according to the height of the user.
In addition, it is important to know how to choose the right table. To do this, sit on a chair, bend your arm and raise it 15 centimeters from your body. The height of the table should be equal to the distance from the elbow to the floor. Also, during use, a kneeling chair without a back should be positioned in such a way that your arms rest on the tabletop and do not hang from it.
Experts recommend using children's kneeling chairs for preventive and therapeutic purposes. This will help avoid spinal curvature and posture problems. However, any use of orthopedic structures should be carried out after consulting a doctor. The use of the product for correct posture is recommended by orthopedic specialists; reviews of its use are mostly positive.

Reviews from orthopedists
The mesh back is no worse than a regular one, you can take a closer look at the model with it, and in the summer it even has superiority. The headrest has no meaning; it is used to demonstrate status. The chairs use modern high-strength plastic, this helps reduce the weight of the chair, but does not make it less durable. You need to pay attention to the upholstery, it should be indelible and durable. The warranty on the kneeling chair should be 5 years.
People speak differently about a chair with support on the knees, but most are unanimous in the opinion that it is impossible to sit slouched on it - the design of the chair will not allow it. For maximum comfort, the device must be selected taking into account the height and build of the user. Proper use will help prevent and compensate for stoop, back diseases associated with posture and even individual internal organs. A good chair for both children and adults.
Reviews
There are quite a lot of reviews about this invention and all of them, with the exception of a few, are positive.
But if you look and read many forums, you will get the impression that these reviews are nothing more than advertising.
First, let's take a quick look at what people who purchased it say about the chair. We will not take into account positive opinions here; every forum is already replete with them.
Let's pay attention to the negative aspects. From people’s words, let’s highlight the following nuances:
- the load is placed mainly on the knees, and it is impossible to sit on a chair for longer than 15 minutes,
- The back muscles cannot maintain a straight back position for a long time. When the muscles get tired, a person simply will not be able to sit, he will want to lie down.
Now we will present several real reviews of orthopedists about the knee chair, as well as specialists in other fields.
Malinov V.O., chiropractor: “One advertisement and no evidence. If only someone could show pictures of his spine to prove that this miracle chair saved him from scoliosis. These chairs can even replace all the furniture in the house, but there will be no therapeutic effect.”
Kotova E.D., orthopedist: “A chair is just an organization of a workplace, nothing more. If you want to do something useful for your back, then just train your muscles and create a good muscle corset. Then your back will be comfortable on a regular stool. No one has canceled physical education and exercise therapy.”
