ERGONOMIC POSTURE WHICH YOU MUST FOLLOW

Ergonomics is concerned with achieving a suitable fit between humans and the elements with which they interact. This could be the products they utilize or the surroundings in which they stay. Ergonomics is a discipline of research that seeks to understand human capabilities and limitations to improve people's interactions with products, systems, and surroundings.

Early in the design process, ergonomics should be a priority. Ignoring ergonomics can result in designs that fail commercially and in your homes since they don't meet the user's needs. When we mention ergonomic, most people immediately think of an office environment. So the problem isn't just at work; it's also at home. In this blog, we'll look at the problems we face in our daily lives and the challenges we'll face in the next 20 years.  

What are the problems faced by people?

Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome, back, neck, and joint pain can all be caused by poor ergonomics. Poor ergonomics is one of the most serious occupational hazards that office workers confront.

So, have you ever considered where this discomfort began? If your body parts hurt, you've likely been stressed for at least 15 days. It is dependent on the individual and their activities.

Back pain is the most common problem among Indians, and they are not elderly; they are only in their twenties. Why is this being highlighted to young people? The reason for this is that people traveling in personal vehicles are being caught. Because the road condition in most parts of India is damaged and if they will use public transport like trains and buses will reduce the stress. Everyone will like to travel to government facilities but they can't because it's very crowded in India because of the population. So we can't change anyone, in this world we have to change ourselves. 

Make an effort to keep your spine in a neutral position. Contrary to popular belief, a neutral spine does not have to be exactly straight. The spine of a neutral person maintains its natural curved form.

An S-shape in the shape of a neutral spine. That is to say, your spine slopes inward near your neck at the top (toward your front). Your spine curves out in the middle, and your low back curves back in. 

This is the best position for your spine whether you stand or sit for long periods. Maintaining a neutral spine requires "less work," which means it is easier on your muscles. Take a few moments as you set up your desk to think about how your back feels. Is it a bit cramped? Is the position “abnormal” in any way? If this is the case, you are most likely not in a neutral spine. Continue adjusting and testing until you reach a state of “neutrality.”

 

NEXT-GENERATION GROWING PROBLEMS

Hunching over SMARTPHONES is causing horns to develop in the heads of young people. We are all familiar with this problem because we are all living it in our households, and if we do not minimize their time spent on their phones, the future generation will be severely harmed.

People have adapted to work from home as well as to educational studies during the Coronavirus years. Children have started their education online so it's our responsibility to see to their posture, how they are seating, writing, reading, etc. As a result, individuals are working on their furniture, beds, and breakfast tables, among other things. As a result, neck pain occurs when looking downwards, shoulders are misaligned, and seats are not suitable for working for 40 hours a week, causing your body to break down over time. So, why do we have so much trouble with our posture? Let's start with the effect that your phone has on your neck. The average human head weighs about 5kg, but every inch that your head creeps forward puts an additional 5kg of pressure on your spine, so if you're holding your head three inches forward, your neck feels like it's supporting 19kg. Don't stick to your posture in any manner; it must shift when it causes you pain.

            
        

Keep in mind that if you are facing such problems or if you are seeing them, we will recommend you to stop them and educate them on how to reduce the problem slowly and steadily. If you are facing lower back pain while working in your office, then you should follow the 20-20-20 rule which means You should spend 20 seconds staring at something else 20 feet away for every 20 minutes spent looking at a computer screen. This helps relieve eye strain by giving your eye muscles a break.
