Furthermore, low back pain is the leading major cause of disability in those younger than 45 years.The EU co-funded project SAFEGUARD aims at developing a new seat that will improve comfort, while decreasing the risk for health damage. In addition, it aims at developing in a broader sense a methodology, to evaluate seating comfort.This paper presents the results of the user needs analysis study and the plans towards the later phases within the overall SAFEGUARD concept and framework.
