Summary
This study tests whether chairs with special foam materials and shapes can reduce tailbone pain and improve comfort for people with coccydynia. About 42 adults who sit at desks 5-6 hours daily will use the chairs for one week. Researchers will measure pressure distribution, pain levels, and quality of life to see if the design helps.
