Title: Ergonomic Challenge
Post by: susan silva on May 11, 2015, 01:42:17 am
Are you 100% ergonomically correct?  Think about your work station, feet on the ground, keyboard and wrists in the position, posture....

If you could fix/change/do one thing better.  What would it be.

Then... I ask.. take an action and make that one thing better or ergonomically correct!

Nope, I sure am not... and one of these days I need to do something about it. I'm getting closer though!

I do not keep my mouse in a good spot.  It slowly moves way to my right.  I really should put it where it needs to be more often. 

At home (like right now) I am TOTALLY bad, my feet don't touch the ground, I could use a better chair, the keyboard can be adjusted to a better height.  Here my mouse is fine, and my monitor is in a good spot.   I tend to sit cross legged like a yoga style because my feet don't touch (desk is too high).

I'm all about being comfortable!  My mom was a posture nazi, so comfort for me is straight up back support.  We upgraded chairs a while back and they can be adjusted many different ways.  I probably lean forward a bit too much, but feet are on the ground, legs usually crossed at ankles, dual monitors in place, keyboard at correct height, and I have gel wrist rests for keyboard and mouse.  My mouse pad looks like a mini Persian carpet with fringe. My monitor is on a stand that has height adjustment as well.   I have a foot rest under my desk. If I were to make a change I would probably adjust computer setting for a little bifocal ease.

I read this thread yesterday and decide before I post I make my changes.  I am bad, I need everything changed, I cross my feet, my mouse/desk is probably too high, the monitor too low.  At least today I adjusted my chair so the keyboard and mouse, and put some books to raise monitor.  Maybe it will make a difference.  I do notice a tired neck many days.
