A body-mimicking system ergonomically integrates a user with a work station while promoting active sitting and proactive positioning. Particularly, cooperative structures are provided to timely promote healthy and productive postures in task seating operations through the maintenance of ergonomic access and reach to a work station at all times. The system enables a user to effortlessly and dynamically shift from a conventional seating position to a lean/stand posture, and any health posture in between, without disrupting the task at hand. When viewed in its cooperative aspects of clinically preferred human postures and its anticipation of the next best posture in relation to a specific user the system operates as a synergistic biomechanical system. Further, the system discloses dynamic body support systems coordinated to support a person and shaped to be comfortable, in both the sitting and lean/stand postures and all the discrete postures in between during dynamic and static excursions of the user through the various postures.
