Except for the height adjustment lever, there are no knobs and levers on the OM5. Its self-adjusting mechanism automatically adjusts the seat pan and backrest to your comfort as you move backward and forward in the chair.

You probably have some of these chairs with L-shaped seats and rigid backs in your house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When people began to sit longer while working, more focus was made on the development of ergonomically-designed chairs. While these chairs are much more comfortable than L-shaped seats, most office chairs on the market are made the same way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>they have cranking knobs, levers, or dials under the seat to bring the chair to the most comfortable position, which is then locked in place until it\u2019s adjusted.&nbsp; These office chairs do not conform to the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fellowes.com\/2017\/04\/05\/adding-micro-movements-to-your-work-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">micro-movements<\/a> of the body unless someone adjusts the handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Problem With Traditional Office Chairs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with traditional <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/SLTC\/etools\/computerworkstations\/components_chair.html#:~:text=The%20seat%20should%20be%20comfortable,easy%20movement%20along%20the%20floor.\" target=\"_blank\">office chairs<\/a> is that sitting in a fixed position for prolonged hours over many years can cause serious problems.

The result of this research has lead to the development of self-adjusting chairs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-adjusting chairs encourage micro-adjustments throughout the day to prevent sitting fatigue. As you move in the chair, the backrest and the seatpan move with you continuing to provide effective lumbar support for your lower back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-adjusting chairs (like the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/16688-gaming-chair.html\" target=\"_blank\">OM5<\/a>) are more comfortable, and they also help <strong><em>strengthen back muscles.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OM5 chair, when used properly, allows users to make small adjustments on how they sit without adjusting hard-to-reach levers or knobs. The chair is based on the idea that <strong>no fixed position is good for the body.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important feature of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/search.php?q=om5+gaming+chair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OM5 Gaming Chair <\/a>is that when you recline, the seat pan does not force your feet off-the-ground. With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/16688-gaming-chair.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ED-GM5-CH<\/a>, you can fully recline and still have both feet on the ground.

You also need to appropriately adjust the chair height by securing your feet on the floor and setting the height so that your legs are 100 degrees to your upper body. (This means your hips will be a little above your knees.)<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5i8tHKXZOO4&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch this video<\/a> on how to adjust and sit on your <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/16688-gaming-chair.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>OM5 chair<\/strong><\/a><strong> correctly.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/SLTC\/etools\/computerworkstations\/positions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adjusted the chair<\/a> and sit back in it, your chair will adjust to your body\u2019s natural movements.
