As previously stated, and illustrated in the Biomechanics testing reports, correct
support contributes to improved spinal alignment.
From a broad understanding of the adverse consequences of poor posture as illustrated
particularly workplace situations now governed by heath and safety laws, it was
conceived that poor posture during bed rest/sleep would similarly contribute to
deterioration of heath. On this basis a preliminary testing process, entitled "The
Dynamic Effects of the Spinal Support Beddings Systems on Recumbent Postures", was
conducted by researchers from the School of Chiropractic at Macquarie University,
Sydney, let by Dr. Ray Hayek BSc(Hons).,Mchiropractic.,PhD.,FICC.
A range of male and female subjects were tested on a bed unit without Variable Support
and then on the same bed unit with
Variable Supported introduced.
The methodology included radiography to determine the effect on the spine providing
specific visual interpretation of any variations to spinal alignment.
The testing also incorporated pressure mapping to demonstrate the relationship of
varying pressure on the recumbent form.
This preliminary testing regime produced three notable observations as prescribed
by Dr. Hayek in his summary:
