Abstract
An articulable occupant support system for supporting an occupant, includes an upper frame, an articulable assembly comprising at least one section articulable relative to the upper frame and a motion control system. The motion control system is arranged to govern motion of the articulable assembly based on a relationship relating scheduled motion of the sections to anthropometric information.

An articulable occupant support system for supporting an occupant, comprising:
- an upper frame;
- an assembly articulable relative to the upper frame;
- a motion control system arranged to govern the motion of the articulable assembly between a starting configuration at which the occupant's greater trochanter is at a starting spatial location relative to the articulable assembly and an end configuration at which the occupant's greater trochanter is at an ending spatial location such that upon return to the starting configuration the occupant's greater trochanter is at a spatial location substantially the same as the starting spatial location wherein the motion control system schedules motion of the articulable assembly based on anthropometric characteristics including at least dimensions BANTHRO-FEMALE, CANTHRO-FEMALE, BANTHRO-MALE and CANTHRO-MALE.
