A seating arrangement includes a base, a seat mounted to the base, the seat having a width extending from a first side to a second side and a length extending in a forward direction from a rear side to a front side. The seating arrangement further includes a backrest positioned adjacent the rear side of the seat. The seating arrangement further includes a cushion length adjustment (CLA) coupled to the seat at the front side. The CLA has a width bisected by a centerline. A first side of the CLA is at least partially defined by a first curved surface extending downward in the forward direction and extending downward toward the base away from the centerline. A second side of the CLA is at least partially defined by a second curved surface extending downward in the forward direction and extending downward toward the base away from the centerline.

A handle is adapted to receive one or more fingers or a portion of the hand. A set of sensors is mounted on or near the surface of the handle. Each sensor associated with a different region of the handle. A detector is arranged to detect contact of one or more of the sensors, by one or more fingers or a portion of a hand, to generate an observed touch-point map for the handle for a respective sampling interval. A controller can generate a gain or control response ratio in the electrical signals outputted in response to the observed touch-point map matching or being substantially similar to a reference touch-point map, where the electrical signals are derived from movement or displacement of the handle by a user.
