Abstract
A seating module for use with a chair frame includes a perimeter frame member. A resilient internal platform is attached to the perimeter frame member at a static portion. An upper seat cushion is disposed on top of a resilient internal platform. The resilient internal platform is biased to an original shape that defines a resting position. Upon a patient resting upon the resilient internal platform, the resilient internal platform deflects in a downward direction toward a seating position and contemporaneously exerts an upward biasing force that assists the patient in reaching a seated position and also assists the patient in moving upward from the seated position.
