What is a kneeling chair and is it appropriate for office use?

A kneeling chair positions the user with hips tilted forward (about 110°–130°) and knees resting on a pad below, reducing lumbar flexion and encouraging a more natural spine curve. Research shows they can reduce lumbar muscle fatigue for some users but also cause knee discomfort with extended use. Most ergonomists recommend kneeling chairs as a supplemental posture alternative (20–40 minutes) rather than a primary all-day chair. They're not appropriate as the sole chair for users who need to take frequent phone calls or who tend to shift posture frequently.
