The ErgoKneeler™

a dynamic kneeling system that can provide comfort, support and ease

of movement across a range of low working positions for people who undertake tasks at a low height

About the ErgoKneeler™

The ErgoKneeler™ is a uniquely profiled kneeling pad and stool integrated into a single piece of equipment. The

ergonomic design alleviates the compression forces and postural discomfort associated with kneeling or squatting and

promotes good spinal posture. To facilitate optimum posture and comfort for the individual, the position of the stool is

adjustable.

Introducing a new dynamic approach to low height working, the ErgoKneeler™ reduces the need for prolonged static

postures by enabling the user free movement across a range of functional and balanced low working positions whilst

carrying out a task. Frequent movement and changes to position throughout the duration of a task helps alleviate the

damaging musculoskeletal stresses and pressures that can result from static kneeling or squatting.

Moulded in sealed polyurethane foam, the ErgoKneeler™ has smooth lines and is easy to clean. To promote infection

prevention an active antimicrobial additive is incorporated throughout the foam and within the product's tough lacquer

coating. The specialist areas providing slip resistance on the underside are also antimicrobial.

Used in accordance with the ErgoKneeler™ 'Information and Guidelines for Use', the ErgoKneeler™ aims to

promote the comfort and musculoskeletal health of nurses, midwives, podiatrists, therapists, educational staff, care staff

or anyone who undertakes tasks at a low height.

The ErgoKneeler™ is designed, developed and manufactured entirely in the United Kingdom
