Description of the offer

Two ergonomic office chairs for more accessibility at events

You can borrow two high-quality, ergonomic office chairs from the Center for Continuing Education (ZfW). These chairs support healthy and comfortable sitting - especially at longer events such as workshops, exams, or conferences.

They are particularly suitable for people who cannot sit well on conventional chairs due to physical limitations and whose concentration is therefore impaired, and whose participation is restricted.

The two chair models offer different ergonomic focuses and can be tried out individually. It may take some time for the benefits to become noticeable - a personal trial will help you to find the right chair for your needs.

Duo Back Swivel Chair UPH
This chair is particularly suitable for people with sensitive backs or limited mobility in the upper back area.

• Split backrest with two flexibly movable back wings that adapt individually to the back
• Promotes natural movement sequences and relieves the spine in a targeted manner
• With a synchronized mechanism (backrest and seat move together), enabling dynamic sitting and greater freedom of movement when leaning back
• Height and depth-adjustable seat and swiveling, individually adjustable armrests

HÅG Capisco 8106
Particularly suitable for those who prefer an active sitting posture or want to alternate between sitting and standing positions. Particularly helpful for lower back complaints (lumbar vertebrae).

• Saddle-shaped seat ensures an open hip position and promotes dynamic sitting
• Supports the natural shape of the spine and activates the core muscles
• Versatile adjustment: seat height, seat depth, backrest height, and tilt
• Sitting backwards is also possible, which supports an upright posture
• Enables easy and comfortable switching between sitting and standing positions

Important note
This offer is intended to provide temporary support during events (e.g. workshops at the ZfW, examinations, meetings, or conferences) and cannot replace permanent workplace provision. Long-term solutions may be provided, for example, by integration assistance in accordance with SGB IX, pension providers, or health insurance companies. The TU Dresden Health Service or the Inclusion Officers will be happy to provide more detailed advice.
