Abstract: A seat assembly is provided with a seat cushion and a pivotal seat back. Sensors are connected to the seat cushion and/or the seat back to detect a seating position. An actuator is connected to the seat cushion and/or the seat back for adjustment. A controller is configured to receive data from the plurality sensors, compare the data to determine if the occupant is seated evenly, and adjust the actuator to balance the occupant posture seating position. The controller is in electrical communication with an inflation device to inflate a first air bladder assembly in a thoracic region of the seat back. A second air bladder assembly oriented in a lumbar region, a sacrum region, and/or a scapular region of the seat back is inflated after initiating inflation of the first air bladder assembly for sequential posture alignment.

Abstract: A seat air bladder assembly includes a pair of lateral air bladder regions spaced apart laterally, each inclined laterally outboard to stimulate a seat occupant thoracic region. A method for adjusting a seat assembly inflates a first air bladder assembly oriented in a thoracic region of a seat assembly. A second air bladder assembly is oriented in the thoracic region spaced laterally apart from the first air bladder assembly, and is inflated after initiating inflation of the first air bladder assembly. Another method inflates first and second air bladder assemblies oriented spaced apart in an upright direction in a thoracic region of a seat assembly, and a third air bladder assembly oriented therebetween. The second air bladder assembly is inflated after initiating inflation of the first air bladder assembly. The inflation of the third air bladder assembly is concurrent with the first air bladder assembly.
