What injuries / conditions this may suit for veterans:
Chronic low back pain or lumbar spondylosis
Neck and thoracic pain related to prolonged sitting or poor posture
Shoulder conditions (e.g. rotator cuff injury) where armrests assist with offloading
General musculoskeletal pain or fatigue with desk-based tasks
Early or mild postural instability where adjustable seating improves alignment
