Computer And Your Health (Ergonomics)

Do you or a family member stay long at the computer? As this may bring some disadvantages to your health as: Sore shoulders, back, wrists, hands and eyestrain if appropriate measures are taken. To avoid such drawbacks there is ergonomics, which has no single definition, because their field of study includes specialties like medicine, physiology, sociology, anthropometry (the study of the proportions and measurements of different parts of the body). In summary, the ergonomics and work seeks to design products so as to suit the needs of people so that they can perform their activities with safety, ease, comfort and prevent accidents, injuries and improve productivity whether you are working, at home or at play. Here are some recommendations for the application of ergonomics in computing: La Silla Choose a suitable seat, enabling it to be comfortably seated, you can adjust to your height and well supported to maintain your back, arms and feet flat on the floor, without items under her desk that prevent you from moving your feet in comfort. If your feet do not reach the floor using a support for them.

The monitor should be located at a height that does not make your head have to be too far down or up. The eye level should be approximately in line with the top of the monitor. This should be located at least 50 - 60 cm. you or a distance equal to the length of your arm. Remember to clean the monitor screen to allow you to clearly view the screen. Use soft, preventing the light directly to the monitor and this will produce reflections. Sometimes we focus so much on screen that we forget flashing, blinking eyes keeps moist and prevent its flushing and fatigue. Increase the font size in the programs you use, if you can not view them with ease. Keyboard and Mouse The keyboard and mouse should be located at the same height, the keyboard and mouse in front of you as close as possible. When writing keep wrists straight, without bending up, down or sideways. The mouse must be molded in such a way that is as comfortable as possible, supporting the arch of the hand (cavity formed between the palm and fingers) without slamming on any part of the palm.

Where possible, we recommend the use of ergonomic keyboards and mice allow both the wrist as the arm is positioned naturally. A final recommendation: If you are staying for a long time on the computer every so often take a few minutes of rest, take the opportunity to stretch, snack, etc..
