How to adjust the ergonomic office chair to the best condition
Now many of us are sitting in the office for a long time. The office chair is the longest contact time at work. Many companies have already equipped with ergonomic office chairs. How to adjust the ergonomic office chairs to the best condition? We need to adjust the height of the seat according to the "reference objects" of various parts of the body. Adjusting the seat can keep away from back pain. the
German spine experts reminded a long time ago that the height of office chairs in many companies is not up to standard, and working for eight hours or even longer can not free the body from backaches. So, how can companies that are already equipped with ergonomic office chairs adjust their office chairs to the "best state"?
We must first adjust the desk or workbench to the appropriate height according to the nature of everyone's work. Because different desk heights have different requirements for the placement of seats, and sometimes it is even necessary to change an office chair. Once the height of the desk is fixed, the height of the seat can be adjusted according to the "reference objects" of various parts of the body.
Elbows: On the premise of sitting comfortably, keep your elbows as close to the table as possible to ensure that your upper arms are parallel to your spine. Place your hands on a work surface (such as a notebook or keyboard). Department is at right angles. At the same time, adjust the height of the armrests so that the upper arms are slightly lifted just above the shoulders.
Thighs: Check that your fingers can slide freely under the thighs, at the very front of the chair. If the space is too tight, you need to add an adjustable footrest to support the thighs. If there is a finger's width between your thigh and the front of the chair, then raise the chair height.
Calf: With your buttocks against the back of the chair, try to see if you can push your clenched fist through the gap between the back of your calf and the front of the chair. If you can't do that easily, the chair is too deep and you need to move the back of the chair forward, add a cushion, or replace the chair.
Lower back: Don't huddle in your chair when you're tired, as this can put extra stress on your lower back and discs. Put your buttocks close to the back of the chair. It is best to put a cushion so that the back can bend slightly, so that when you are tired, your body will not shrink into a ball, and the burden on your back can be minimized.
Eye level: close your eyes, then slowly open your eyes, the line of sight should fall parallel to the middle of the computer monitor. If the monitor position is too high or too low, then you need to make corresponding adjustments to reduce neck muscle strain.
Ergonomic office chairs can relieve fatigue and soreness in everyone's daily work, and are more comfortable and practical than ordinary chairs. However, sitting in a fixed position for a long time is not good for the body. Get up and be active for at least half an hour, it only takes two minutes. Even something as simple as stretching or going to the bathroom is fine. If possible, walk slowly for 20 minutes, not only can reduce the pressure on the spine, but also can promote blood circulation, so as to transport nutrients to all parts of the spine. Ivyco ergonomic office chairs wish everyone a healthy seat and create a healthy office environment .
