Abstract
A system for minimizing damage to an object located rearward of a chair from rearward movement of a backrest portion of the chair by a powered movement apparatus, and the backrest portion may be movable rearwardly from a substantially upright position to a reclined position. The system may comprise an apparatus positionable on the backrest portion of the chair and configured to be triggered when the apparatus contacts an object positioned rearward of the backrest portion. The apparatus may be configured to be interfaced with the movement apparatus of the chair to interrupt rearward movement of the backrest portion when the apparatus is triggered.
