As people spend more time at workstations and computers, bodies are spending more time in uncomfortable and unhealthy positions. Use adjustable furniture. The more you can personalize the tilt of a chair, the height of a desk, the angle of lighting, the more likely you are to find arrangements that fit your body's needs. This position prevents wrists from staying in unnatural positions.
Laptop computers present unique ergonomic challenges.
With laptops, it's hard to get everything right. For instance, the monitor could be placed a little higher and further away. In the ErgoRoom, CU-Boulder faculty, staff and students can explore what might be the best options for ergonomically correct office furniture. Marshall is available to provide guidance and advice to any CU-Boulder department as they plan for new office furniture or need to adjust older equipment.
