Ergonomic Advice
What Is Ergonomics?
Ergonomics is the study of how people fit in their work environment.
Ergonomic
improvements don't have to involve expensive office changes. Simple tools
combined with appropriate advice is often all that is needed. For example, a foot stool
can reduce stress from common activities of daily living like ironing or
any bench activity.
Advice about correct trunk posture (maintain the
lumbar lordosis or "neutral spine") can improve spine/head/neck alignment and
result in a less fatigue when sitting at a desk for prolonged periods of
time. Often a simple product will assist or remind you how to position yourself in your work or home environment.
