Today especially in industrialized countries, most workers sit for most of the time. They sit while having breakfast, while going to work in cars or buses, in classroom, in meetings, in office, during dinner or during at home while watching television. Although sitting requires less physical effort than standing or walking, a job that requires sitting for long hours can also led to many health problems.
Choosing the Right Ergonomic Chair
The selection of a suitable ergonomic chair is the most crucial step in preventing health problems for people who sit while working for long hours.
Try Sitting In Ergonomic Chair
You can only tell whether an ergonomic chair is suitable for you if you sit in the chair for some time. Do not hesitate to spend your day sitting
in ergonomic chair. You may feel uncomfortable at first, but few hours, it will work so well in the long term.
Features Of A Good Ergonomic Chair: Some features are mandatory for a good chair regardless of how you intend to use it:
1. Adjustability – the seat should be adjustable, the seat should also not feel too hard or soft. Avoid the one that require lots of controls and complicated, poorly designed and incovenient.
2. Seat Height Range – Look for chairs that have controls that can easily be reached whn sitting down and that are easy to use. At a minimum you should be able to control theheight of the seat, but you might also be able to control the seat pan depth and tilt. It should also provide a tension control for the seat back while other chairs do this automatically based on your body weight.
3. Adjustable Armrests – By having armrest, it helps you to get in and out of a chair and helps to protect your knees and back from undue strain. Ensure that the chair armrests are strong enough for your weight and will not tip the chair when you push down on them. Look for broad, contoured, cushioned and comfortable armrests that you can easily adjust while sitting. Choose wisely on a good ergonomic chairs that let you adjust armrest angle in and out, forwards and backwards.
4. Adjustable Backrest – A headrest is a useful feature. The chair headrest helps to reduce strain on the neck and shoulders when you recline back in the chair.
Always remember in choosing a good ergonomic chair, you should sit in it instead of just looking at it. Experience the difference on sitting in an ergonomic chair. Then you will see how it performs over time!
