Replacing traditional school desks with flexible multifunctional ergonomically designed school desks may reduce sitting time and provide other benefits. It’s well documented that ergonomically poor classroom furniture also impacts cognitive ergonomics, i.e., how our minds work and other mental processes. Examples include lack of attention, poor concentration, poor memory and lowered achievement levels. Obviously, this also impacts teachers, administrators, parents, etc. The consequences of using classroom furniture that doesn’t meet acceptable ergonomic standards include very real physical symptoms. Typically, conventional chairs have rigid seat that inclines backwards and merges into a seating hollow. This design can cause lack of blood circulation; rounding of the back; tense shoulder, neck and back muscles; constricted digestive organs, and spinal cord pressure. Children wildly range in size, growth, strength and cognitive ability. Most of school children sit at chair-desk combinations that are not suitable for their body height. The researchers also purport that most school furniture is out of date and doesn’t confirm to minimum orthopedic-physiological requirements. Posture patterns begin around age seven. Classroom seating was originally designed to enforce upright posture throughout most of the 20th century. This position can create an excess amount of muscle exertion. Poor posture can also compress the diaphragm, which affects breathing and voice quality. According to the University of Manitoba, elementary children spend around nine hours sitting per day. Another source reports that students sit in classroom desk for close to 80 percent of their time. Even preschools spend a considerable time in desk
