Abstract
A sacral support assembly for use with a seat is provided. The seat includes a seat frame. An adjustable sacral support assembly is connected to the seat frame. The sacral support assembly includes a sacral support member adapted to support the sacrum of a seated user. A method is also provided for delivering adjustable, stabilizing support to a user's sacrum and sacral-pelvic anatomy to reduce fatigue, increase comfort, stability and posture for a user, and a system for adjusting and controlling the load distribution from the sacral anatomy to the anatomical structures adjacent to a user's sacrum, for example, the pelvis and lumbar regions.
