An automotive seat assembly (10) comprising a seat cushion (14) and a seat back (16). The seat back includes opposing sides defining a center line (C-C) therebetween and a lower pelvic support region for supporting the pelvic area of a seat occupant. An inflatable bladder assembly (12) is supported by the seat back and includes a pair of bladders (20, 22) positioned on opposing sides of the center line (C-C) in the pelvic support region which are expandable by a fluid medium from a generally flat uninflated condition to a generally wedge-shaped inflated condition. A controller activates a fluid pump and valve to control the bladders between the uninflated and inflated conditions. When the bladders are expanded to the inflated condition, the wedge-shape of the bladders cradles the spine and pelvic bone of the seat occupant to control pelvic rocking and reduce spinal muscle fatigue.

On décrit un ensemble siège (10) de véhicule automobile qui comprend un coussin de siège (14) et un dossier de siège (16). Le dossier de siège présente des bords opposés séparés par une ligne médiane (C-C) et une zone inférieure de soutien sous-abdominal pour soutenir la région pelvienne de l'occupant du siège. Un ensemble vessie gonflable (12) est porté par le dossier de siège et inclut une paire de vessies (20, 22) placées sur des bords opposés de la ligne médiane (C-C) dans la zone de soutien sous-abdominal. Sous l'action d'un moyen hydraulique, les vessies sont gonflées et passent d'un état généralement plat à un état généralement cunéiforme. Un organe de commande met en oeuvre une pompe hydraulique et une soupape pour faire passer les vessies de l'état plat à l'état gonflé. A l'état gonflé, les vessies cunéiformes forment un berceau pour recevoir l'épine dorsale et l'os iliaque de l'occupant du siège, limitant ainsi le balancement pelvien et la fatigue musculaire rachidienne.
