ERGONOMICS

Ergonomics is the science of adapting your workstation to your body, so that your body remains in the position it was meant to assume. Ergonomic tools allow you to work, and not hurt. They allow you to minimize pressure that is a natural consequence of incorrect body positioning. When you introduce ergonomic tools into your work environment, you have taken a progressive and important step in removing these unwelcome pressures. The result is a workday with more energy and productivity. Your investment in ergonomic tools, such as ErgoFusion, will enable you to achieve that desired level of comfort.

The goal of any computer work space should be to provide a neutral position for the user.  This sitting posture minimizes the work stress on your hand, arm neck and back muscles while both stationary and typing.  This position is not achievable with many workstations; however, a few peripheral items can have a most positive impact on your working comfort.  And with that additional comfort comes more productivity.

Your Keyboard:  Ideally, the keyboard should rest just below the height of your elbows and the keys should slope downward slightly away from you, so that your hands can remain in a relaxed position even when reaching for the top keys.  The use of an ergonomic keyboard on an adjustable keyboard tray can provide the correct height and angle for the keyboard to create a restful position while typing.   ErgoFusion products offer several solutions to this need, with solid construction and adjustability that will provide years of reliable keyboard support.

Your Chair:  Next, your feet should rest firmly on the floor, and your chair should provide proper lumbar support without catching you behind the knees.  This neutral position allows the muscles in your back, arms and shoulders to relax while you type.  Evaluate your chair, confirming that it fits comfortably and provides the needed support.  You may need to add additional back support, or possibly replace your chair with one that will provide long-term benefits.   BodyBilt Ergonomic Chairs are the premier workplace seating solution, offering comfort and ergonomic adjustability unlike any other chair in the marketplace.

Your Monitor Screen:  To provide the proper position for your neck, thereby relieving muscle strain, the computer screen should be at eye-level.  Position it so that you can clearly see it without bending your neck.  ErgoFusion monitor supports may be re-positioned with just a finger.  Additionally, the monitor support may affix to your work surface with a c-clamp, a grommet, or thru mount.  Other mounting options include track mounting or wall mounting.

Addressing these three items can create a restful, neutral position and a healthier workplace for any computer user.  Adding ergonomic accessories to your workspace can provide a comfortable and productive working experience.
