Features and Benefits of a
Synchronized Glider Mechanism

ObusULTRAforme features a new Synchronized Glider mechanism

which incorporates the benefits of many chair mechanisms into

one. Feet can stay flat on the floor while tilting which relieves

pressure under the thighs and encourages good blood flow.

The back angle relative to the seat is easily adjustable allowing

the user to individualize support and comfort. Tilt tension is

adjustable from a seated position, simply by turning the dial

beside the seat. The Synchronized Glider mechanism provides a

dramatic gliding/tilting action, setting the standard for seating

comfort and adjustability.

Endorsements:

Robert L. Dubin,D.C. Past President California Chiropractic Association Petaluma, CA

“After 30 years in practice helping people with lower back pain, I can
unequivocally state that the Moller device is the best one I have seen to date. I can
and will recommend this device without hesitation for anyone looking for better
support while they are sitting. Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful
product.”

Erda Sanders, D.C. Oakland, CA

“I have previously tried other back supports, and have not been able to get the
satisfying results I got when using the Moller. Based on my uniformly good
experience , I highly recommend the Moller back support and will be
recommending it to my patients.”

R. Lane Smith, Ph.D. Stanford University.

“I believe that this support is superior to many other products intended for lower

back support. It focuses the support to a specific region....It is an excellent choice

for individuals who have lower back pain.”

Torsten Jacobsen M.D. Orthopedic Surgeon Concord, CA.

“I have often prescribed the Moller lumbar back support for my patients with
both mechanical and discogenic back pain.”

Doctor Tracy Newkirk M.D. of the METS clinic, San Rafael,CA.

“We now know that poor posture compromises circulation. We can actually prove
objectively that a neutral spinal posture creates many benefits other than just
spine support.” “Our multi-disciplinary pain clinic has relied on the Moller
Back support technology for patients who have a variety of pain problems”.

The Problem:

The Solution:

Poor posture is responsible for many back problems:

A majority of adults experience severe back pain, greatly affecting
their daily activities. The obusULTRAForme with Moller back
support can help alleviate many of these problems. Using correctly
designed seating can dramatically increase comfort, attentiveness,
productivity and general well-being.

Round shoulder posture creates an unhealthy “C” curve in the spinal
column instead of a more natural and self supporting “S” curve.

A slumped posture can compress nerves and blood vessels that are
directly behind the collarbone. The natural result of blood vessel
compression is a slowing of circulation.

Symptoms of slowed circulation caused by a round shouldered posture
may include neck, back and hip pain, headache, blurred vision,
numbness tingling or weakness of the hands and cold feet.

ObusULTRAforme with Moller back support provides full spinal column
support and maintains a natural lower spine configuration. With the Moller
back support system in place, two important improvements can occur:

1) Correcting the position of the shoulders and collar bones reduces
compression of the veins and improves slowed circulation which
may result in a reduction of symptoms.

2) The upright supported posture may also decrease the strain on the
small lower back muscles, thereby reducing fatigue and discomfort.

Back Height adjustment:

Grasp the back, lift it gradually to
position the lumbar support in the right
spot for your body. Lower the back by
lifting to top position to reset ratchet.

Multi-tilt Control:

Encourages the ability to angle the seat
forward, to relieve pressure under the
thighs. Leaning to the rear, rotate lever
clockwise to enable angle, counter
clockwise to disengage.

Arm Width Adjustment:

“WA” is standard. Release cam lever
(under seat) and slide arm in and out.
Close cam lever to lock in place.
Armcap also slides laterally to narrow
chair width.

Armcap Depth Adjustment:

Slide arm forward or backward to
position for desired preference.
Armcap rotates 30˚ to provide more
effective support for keyboarding.

Height Adjustable Arms:

Push button on the side of the arm and
raise or lower arm to desired height,
then release button.

Seat Depth Adjustment:

A sliding mechanism (MD) allows
forward and backward movement. Pull
up on lever. Slide seat to desired depth,
release lever to lock position.

Tilt-Lock Control:

Pull up on the lever to the left of the seat
and the tilting action of the chair moves
freely, push down on the lever and that
seat/back angle is locked in position.

Back Angle Adjustment:

Back angle adjusts separately to
maximize comfort for all users.

Upper back design: The slim shape allows and encourages
freedom of upper body movement. The patented design promotes a
position of the shoulders and collar bones which relieves pressure
on the blood vessels and nerves in the upper body. This may result
in a reduction of the symptoms of back pain and general fatigue.

Back height adjustment: Vertical back height adjustment allows
the user to raise the back and position the lumbar support in the
right spot for each individual. This is accomplished via an internal
ratchet concealed inside the back.

Arms: Armcaps are soft and warm to the touch and are made from
durable polyurethane that protects furniture from impact damage.
The arms are height and width adjustable and feature a sliding
armcap that slides forward or backwards or over top of the seat,
and swivels to a 30˚ angle to accommodate user preference.

Seat Design: The seat is designed to evenly distribute the body’s
weight over the full seat. The front edge of the seat, has a rounded
waterfall shape that helps reduce pressure on the thighs while
tilting. Both are designed to encourage proper blood flow to the
lower extremities.

Seat Depth: Seats feature a sliding mechanism that allows
forward and backward depth adjustment. Match your thigh length
for optimum comfort and support.

Seat Height: Seats are equipped with a pneumatic lift that allows
the user to select the proper seat height for their working
preference and leg length.

Adjustable tilt tension: Chair features tilting action which allow
users to adjust the balance of the spring tension by turning the dial
beside the seat. We strongly encourage users to match their body
weight to the spring tension for comfortable, smooth, and
supportive movement.

Those who suffer from chronic back pain and headaches know that it can disrupt the

enjoyment and productivity of daily life. Healthcare professionals and industrial

designers have worked hard to develop new technologies that can help alleviate

many of these problems. A focus of this research is proper posture and back support

and now there is a proven solution. The obusULTRAforme chair with Moller back

support system: The back is composed of three natural curves. Ideally these curves

form an “S” shape. Maintaining this “S” shape is imperative to avoiding pain and

injury over time. Unlike most back support devices. The obusULTRAforme with

Moller back support system is a scientifically designed device that encourages this

correct alignment.
