How to Sit Properly at a Computer. What Is Ergonomics?

Does your body ache after a long day of sitting at a computer? Do you suffer from lower back pain? How to sit properly in a chair? What is ergonomics? It is the science that deals with human health within the work environment. Based on these findings, a number of products offer ergonomic designs that largely alleviate back pain and prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.

Right Angle Rule - the Basis for Seating Ergonomics

It is easy to understand the basic rules of the ergonomics of sitting at a computer. It is enough to remember the right angle rule: there should be a 90° angle between the thigh and the calf and also between the back and the thighs. It is also advisable to have a right angle between the upper arm and forearm.

How to sit correctly — How to sit properly or the ergonomics of sitting in practice.

Positioning Your Ergonomic Desk for Better Workstation Ergonomics

A height adjustable ergonomic desk is key to healthy sitting at the computer and for proper workstation ergonomics. It allows you to adjust the optimum height of the desk so that the angle between the forearm and the upper arm is at 90°. A positioning ergonomic desk also allows you to alternate between sitting and standing work, which prevents back pain and promotes your overall health.

Ergonomic seating in front of the computer is also supported by proper foot pads that allow you to adopt an optimal position when working and thus relieving pressure on your legs and spine.

Ergonomic Chairs for Healthy Sitting Promote Correct Sitting Posture

Ergonomic chairs that promote healthy sitting that do not put strain on your back are essential when you have to sit in front of a computer for a prolonged period of time. Ergonomic office chairs allow you to change the position of the seat and backrest so you can stretch out and not have to sit in just one position. They often have lumbar support, a headrest and an anatomically shaped or three-dimensional ergonomic office chair seat.

Do you have an ordinary chair at home and still suffer from back pain? Then your problems will certainly be solved by using an ergonomic chair seat cushion which contributes to achieving a correct sitting posture and promotes healthy sitting at the computer.

Monitor Holders - Workstation Ergonomics

Holders for monitors are part of workplace ergonomics. The ideal position for proper seating at the computer is that the top edge of the monitor is at eye level. The distance of the head from the monitor should be approximately 40-70cm. The correct monitor position helps maintain a healthy body position and prevents unnecessary strain on the spine.

Adequate back and spinal support is essential when working on a computer. Ergonomic armrests help to correct your posture and reduce back pain.

Use a Vertical (Ergonomic) Mouse to Prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

A vertical ergonomic mouse offers a unique shape that feels very comfortable while reducing the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. The ergonomics of this solution ensure that the forearm remains free in the air and the wrist is flush with the forearm when working with the mouse.

What if you don't like an ergonomic mouse but still care about the ergonomics of your workstation? Look into using specially shaped ergonomic mouse pads which counteract the development of carpal tunnel syndrome and are very comfortable even if you have to work with a computer for long periods of time.

Ergonomic Keyboards

Ergonomic keyboards are specially shaped for maximum comfort. The modified key layout makes typing easier and reduces wrist strain. Ergonomic keyboards also offer a practical and comfortable armrest to reduce the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.
