Ergonomics

 

Nifty gadgets to promote ergonomics in your office!

You’ve probably heard of ergonomics.  If all that comes to mind is that weird keyboard you don’t think you would ever use with your computer, keep reading.  Ergonomics is simply the science of equipment designed to let you be able to work longer without pain or fatigue.  It’s definitely something you can apply while you work.

Our favorite ergonomic application:  If you’ve ever had a sore elbow or wrist from using a mouse, there is a tool you need in your office.  It’s a padded gel arm rest that attaches directly to your computer desk.  You rest your mouse arm and will have no pain or discomfort. Ergonomically, it is one of the simplest, least expensive solutions to a common office worker complaint.

Different ergonomic-inspired mouses:  If you’ve thought of trying a wrist-friendly mouse while you type, there are many options available.  The hardest one for us to get used to was the one where you insert your fingers and operate the mouse with thumb and forefinger. Not very user-friendly! A good ergonomic choice is either a cordless or laser mouse, both of which are great for easier function, whether you use a PC or laptop computer!

The most important ergonomic product:  your chair.  If you work leaning forward, you are going to have neck and back pain unless you invest in a chair for your office desk that will adjust to give you necessary support.  If you work leaning back, you should get a chair that adjusts to fit under your desk so you don’t strain your arms.
