Most workplaces can also be ergonomically adjusted at home.
A small adjustment of the height of the table and chair is often enough.
With these 7 simple adjustments, you can make your workplace more ergonomic and thus prevent back pain:
Distance from the screen
: At least an arm's length away from the user - prevents shoulder and neck pain.
Height of the screen:
Adjust so that you look down at an angle - the neck is relieved.
Mouse and keyboard:
set up so that the elbows always remain at the same height - prevents one-sided strain and cramps.
Do not bend your hands:
Cushions for the hands help to protect tendons and joints.
The pelvis:
Make sure that it is always tilted slightly - pillows can help with this.
Prevents back pain.
Feet:
Adjust the chair so that they can be placed parallel to the floor - ensures a generally healthier posture.
Chair and desk
: Adjust to your own height - ensures an ergonomic sitting position.
An online tool can be used to calculate what the perfect height is.
