Our desks weren't made for us. They were made for everyone. Simple fixes like adjusting your chair to match your height and adjusting your monitor to an arm's distance can make a huge impact. What are some other adjustments to optimize your workspace?
Ergonomics expert Jon Cinkay from the Hospital for Special Surgery is here to show you how to make your desk and office chair adapt to you and not the other way around.

I can tell you what is wrong in this video. Desk is too high making his chair too high. The 8" gape between top of the desk and bottom of the top is too excessive. For the average person their arms will rest about 4" above their thighs. Giving your elbows and knees a perfect 90 degree angle.

Ergonomics is such an underrated, or at least not very apparent, part of work (any type of work, from desksto kitchens to factories) and life in general. Most people invest a fair amount of money on taking care of our phones or computers, but usually not as much on taking care of ourselves, so it's great when companies prioritize ergonomics, taking care of their people through mostly small but impactful changes

Home office worker here: as someone with occasionally 6+ hours of back to back meetings a day, the only solution for me was completely avoid sitting by promoting my desk to a standing one. Then I do calf stretches, occasional bending of the torso etc. Comes a lot more natural when standing compared to sitting.

@atriyakoller136 Жыл бұрын

Good for you. I've considered standing working environments but they'd be much more painful for me because I can't stand without pain for longer than 10-15 minutes - I need to walk lr sit down. But if it works, it's amazing. And stretches don't help much, but that's probably because I have a lot of vascular problems in my legs specifically

I really want to highlight his note about laptops here. For yourself and for anyone in your family or circle using laptops, please stress to them that they must be using an external keyboard whenever possible and raising the laptop up. I am a massage therapist, and I have seen first-hand what happens when this is not addressed. I am also an avid computer user, so I have suffered a long time from some of these issues. 1 subtle note to adhere, it's about using your mouse. I've noticed that we often have our hands hovering on the mouse, poised and ready to click. If you feel your body while this is happening, you will notice that your arm and shoulder and even up to your neck or engaged this whole time. If you spend a lot of time at the computer, I highly recommend being cognizant of totally disengaging from the mouse, when you have nothing to do. As well, there are very simple keyboard shortcuts that you can use to move around the page and even between screens, to cut down on the amount that you use your mouse. One last note: if you decide to get a wireless keyboard for your laptop or desktop, many of them come with a Bluetooth Switcher. This would allow you to be able to type on your phone as well as your computer. Again, if you have long stretches where you use your computer and phone at your desk, I recommend getting a suction cup vertical stand for your phone so that it is positioned at proper height and you don't have to look down to read it. Then, as a text or whatever kind of message comes into your phone that you want to respond to, you just flip the switch type on your keyboard for your response, and switch back to your main computer.

It is really interesting to see that my desk setup is already similar to what the video is talking about. I feel weird because in time, my desk setup transformed to its current final shape. I guess I changed what made me uncomfortable over time and it evolved into its final shape which it already is the most comfortable one.

I've been doing pretty much exactly all this for the last 15 years and it's good. One more thing I'd recommend is to place your most used tool right in front of you. Like if you use your mouse more than your keyboard while gaming for example. I've had RSI issues with my wrists (CTS), elbow and somewhat in the shoulder since forever and find that it's a good idea to switch things around a bit and even rotate between different tools such as a mouse and a touchpad when you feel the pain starting to build up. At one point, when it was really bad for a while, I even switched my mouse hand to get some pain relief. I'm getting better at keeping myself from pushing on when I start noting the first signs of pain. I need to be mindful of this but it's a struggle. I've been in the IT industry for over 25 years now.

There is minimal evidence behind ergonomic interventions being important. Little to no research out there says "elbows have to be @ 90 degrees" or computer screen is "an arms length away". It all sounds great, but is it backed by anything? When these people can bring scientific research out that backs this stuff up, then they can start being important. Fear mongering at the start of "leaning, slouching etc. can lead to pain" is what this industry strives off. Best part of the video is at the end, giving exercises + saying to get up every hour. That is helpful, the changes before that are all unnecessary.

@AlejandroLZuvic 5 жыл бұрын

@@TTPF29 so, apart from standing from your chair some times a day your advice is slouch as much as you want and take whatever posture you wish so everything is all made up?

@robertschlesinger1342 5 жыл бұрын

@@TTPF29 Yes, there is voluminous research and published findings. These studies began more than a century ago with so-called Time and Motion studies, which were done for assembly plants, offices, and the like. Numerous scholarly books were written on that subject through the 1950s when the aerospace industry took off. At that time other key words were often used, but Ergonomics became most often associated with such studies. Private industry and academia continued to research the field, but NASA and the military put big research into the field because of manned space flight and jet cockpit design, which must be optimal. Fortunately, many of these studies have been published by the government in large softback volumes and multi-volume sets resembling telephone books (in outward appearance). The volumes are impressive and broad in scope. This I know to be a fact because the research institution that I am affiliated with has more than two dozen of the aforementioned volumes.
