Abstract

A bionic and posture-correcting backrest for study, including a bracket body disposed at the rear of a desk via a mounting rack. An adjustable element is provided on a frame between the chest/abdomen and the desk edge as well as between the chin and lower part of abdomen (slightly above the thighs). The adjustable element is a fist distance away from the desk edge if a user sits on the chair with the correct sitting position. In this way, the “forward sitting position” and the “backward sitting position” or any sitting position therebetween can be achieved and meanwhile freely switched. The adjustable element ensures an appropriate space being formed between the head, eyes, neck, chest, waist, back, elbows and a desk/chair.
