Ergonomics: Legs and Back - InteGrand
When it comes to ergonomics, many people feel the pain of improper positioning in their legs and back. Whether your job requires you to sit for long periods of time or to walk and lift heavy objects, simple pieces of equipment can help prevent serious injury.
If you’re at a desk, a simple solution to back pain is the right chair. Your chair should be tilted forward slightly to help keep the natural curve of your body. This will reduce pressure on your lower back. Make sure your chair is high enough to support your back and maintain the natural “hollow” at the base of your back.
It’s a common belief that all you need for a healthy back is a comfy chair. Your chair is vital to ergonomics, but there is much more to it. The human body is not made to sit in one position for a long period of time. That’s why, even if you have the best chair money can buy, you still may feel stiff and sore after sitting for more than an hour. The solution is simple; get up! Take a few minutes to walk around the office. Get your blood moving!
