The Score Amazone with Backrest combines all the features of the Score Amazone with a highly supportive low/mid backrest. The key distinguishing feature on the Amazone is the narrower saddle seat top, which has been designed specifically for a female shaped pelvis. In addition, there is a height adjustable back support that has been designed to give you additional low back and mid back support when sitting, whilst maintaining the manoeuvrability and high sitting position of the saddle. 

The stool has a lever based forwards and backwards tilting mechanism. By forwards tilting you are able to facilitate anterior tilting of the pelvis which in turn encourages a more upright low back position. The Amazone saddle stool with backrest is easy to adjust for height using a simple lever, and it has a small footprint and light but sturdy construction. The size and weight of the saddle not only make it very manouverable when sitting but also make it highy portable.

The shape of the seat was originally inspired by a horseback rider’s saddle, which encourages an upright sitting posture during the day. By changing the way you sit, it is designed to relieve pain caused by poor posture and to reduce the risk of back pain, neck pain and other musculoskeletal disorders. The stool is offered with a standard 5-year guarantee on parts and 2-year guarantee on upholstery.

THE RANGE EXPLAINED

Despite the small number of chairs in the Score seating range, it can be difficult to know which will be the ideal one for your needs. The table below is designed to highlight the key similarities and difference and some of the advantages and disadvantages of different seats:

WHO SHOULD USE THE AMAZONE BALANCE?

The Amazone Balance is designed to develop core muscle strength and is most popular for dental professionals looking to improve posture and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury. Occasionally we have found that the Balance is too challenging for individuals who have recently had back or pelvic surgery or a recent back injury and so do not recommend it in these situations.

HOW FAR DOES THE SEAT MOVE?

The stool can move approximately 5-7 degrees in all directions.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AMAZONE AND AMAZONE BALANCE?

The stools are identical in every way except for the movement mechanism. The movement mechanism on the standard Amazone allows lever based forwards and backwards tilt whilst the active movement mechanisms on the Amazone Balance allows a small amount of movement in all direction.

Gas Stem

The gas stem is the central strut that connects the base to the seat top and is the mechanism that enables you to adjust the height of the stool. There are three gas stem options which should be selected based on your height.

• Low (Work surface height 70-80 cm)
• Standard (Work surface height 80-90 cm)
• High (Work surface height 90-100 cm)

Seat Mechanism

There are three mechanisms at the top of the score saddle stool.

• Fixed Seat: The fixed seat is the mechanism that effectively holds the seat in a fixed position. The advantage of this type of mechanism is that it is the cheapest mechanism available. The disadvantage is that the stool does not enable much movement or tilting at the pelvis. For this reason, we don’t offer this option on the website.
• Adjustable Seat: A tilting mechanism enables you to use a lever to adjust the upright position of the saddle. By tilting the saddle seat forwards you are able to put more weight through your feet and sit more upright. We have found this mechanism to be very successful with individuals who get pain when their back is flexed and are more comfortable in a more upright position.
• Balance: The alternative to the tilt mechanism is the balance mechanism which allows a small degree of movement in all directions whilst sitting on the stool. This mechanism has been inspired by swiss ball sitting and is designed to strengthen your core muscles as they work to maintain the seat position.

Castors

As a standard the stools come with castors suitable for hard floors. However, we can supply other castors including castors for carpets, lockable castors and loaded castors. If you are not sure what castors you need please contact us

Upholstery

Additional Accessories

Footring

The footring is designed to be fastened at the bottom of the gas stem and is designed to provide a firm support surface for the feet when sitting in a higher position

Backrest

The backrest is designed to give an extra layer of support for longer procedures and for dental professionals with specific spine support needs. The support fits into the low part of the spine and is both height adjustable and back angle adjustable.

360 DEGREE SUPPORT:

The 360 degree upper limb support is a highly adjustable dynamic support. The unique feature of this support is the ability to position the support at any position around the body, this gives the user an enormous amount of flexibility in terms of upper limb support and is particularly popular with dental hygienists and dental nurses.

Score chairs are produced according to high quality standards and long lasting materials, and as such have:

• A 5-year guarantee on all metal parts
• A 2-year guarantee on upholstery if used for its intended purpose
