Assalamualaikum Dr. Rose and my lovely classmates :)
Today I want to talk on how to apply ergonomics in our life.
It is very important to take care our health and productivity while using computer/notebook/etc.
therefore, proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability. Below are some tips of applying ergonomics in our life :)
1. adjust the height of your work surface or table
2. if you have extra money, buy a well-designed chair that supports your back and can be
adjusted in height and tilt
3. position the keyboard appropriately so that it allows your forearms to be in line with your hands
4. adjust your seat to allow your eyes to be at a comfortable level with the screen
5. place a document holder close to the computer screen to help you reduce the movement
of your head
6. do not sit in a rigid and stiff manner which means that do not change your posture frequently
7. take short breaks frequently rather than long infrequent ones
8. ensure the source of your lighting is bright enough for you to work with your computer
9. release the mouse at frequent intervals so that you can avoid pressure on the wrists
So, I hope we can apply all of the tips for a healthy lifestyle!
Take care and be safe everybody! toodles :)
Dear Nabilah,
ReplyDeletethanks for the great post!
As an IT minor, we are bound to be sitting in front of the computer most of the time. From what I know, choosing the sleek and smart design of a chair is crucial in order to reduce back pain and make sure we are sitting in the correct posture. That's why people are willing to buy one even though it is quite expensive..Yeah, a great chair will cost us more, hence your 'if you have extra money' aite? :) Great post!
is it expensive to have this?
