PT TIP OF THE MONTH FOR MAY/JUNE 2010

 

Work Station Ergonomics

 

Improper work station set up can the be source for many chronic and often debilitating injuries.  Remember your work station doesn't necessarily only pertain to your place of employment.  Your home computer also falls into this category!  There are several key points in ensuring that your station is properly set up:

  • Top of computer terminal set to eye level
  • Feet flat on floor
  • Wrists in a neutral position
  • Elbows bent to about 90 degrees
  • Upright posture with good lumbar support
  • The desk and seat height should be such that you can sit back comfortably towards the back of your chair without the need to hunch/slouch forward in order to reach your keyboard

These are just a few examples to help get you started off in the right direction with respect to your mechanics.  If you have any questions or are suffering from an injury possibly related to your work station, please contact us so that one of our qualified physical therapists can further evaluate you and make the recommendations you need to help rid you of pain and get you back into the game of life!!
