ABSTRACT:
A split-seat chair includes a mechanism for stimulation of a person's hips while seated in the chair, by generally simulating the hip motion which occurs during walking, or by allowing such movement by the user. Two platforms under the respective buttocks of the person preferably move in orbital motions about a horizontal axis transverse to the chair, the two pads orbiting 180.degree. out of phase relative to one another. The speed of orbital motion is preferably coordinated with the rate of circulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the skull as it travels down into the sacrum. The chair moves the pelvis in a gliding motion that partially mimics walking while the person is seated, thus reducing posturally caused lower back pain and stiffness.
