I'm what you might call an indoor enthusiast I've been lucky because I haven't experienced any kind of computer-related injury due to my prolonged use of computers , but it is a very real professional risk. I get some occasional soreness in my hands or wrists, mostly after marathon binges where I've clearly overdone it but that's about the extent of it. All too many of my friends have struggled with long-term back pain or hand pain . While you can (and should) exercise your body and hands to strengthen them, there's one part of this equation I've been ignoring. I've been on a quest for the ultimate computer desk for a few years now, and I've talked at length about the value of investing in a great chair . But I hadn't considered whether my current desk and chair is configured properly to fit my body. What about the ergonomics of your computer workstation?

    Extractions: Home Automotive Aircraft Office ... Contact American Ergonomics Corporation, the leader in dynamic seat technology, is licensing Counter Balanced Motion (CBM) seating solutions for vehicular and office seating. This site contains the latest information on our innovative, industry specific applications of our patented seating technology. AEC dynamic seat concept is a seat motion mechanism that self adjusts to respond to the body's movements. The CBM Seat offers comfort and safety in a variety of vehicles, including passengers cars, truck, and aircraft. Using the CBM seating solution as a restraint reduces loads on the lower body, as well as reducing head trajectory. The CBM Seat deploys by momentum to absorb deceleration forces on the lower body. The Counter Balanced Motion (CBM) Seat is a dynamic mechanism that provides passive, automatic adjustment of the seat, backrest and headrest. The CBM is designed to provide comfort by supporting the motion of the seated passenger. This system is user activated without motors. The dynamic seat design concept is focused on the consideration of the many body posture changes performed during any seated task. The central goal is to provide seating support, motion, and body alignment. There are several chair designs that feature the arcuate seating motion patented by American Ergonomics Corporation. These include the Ergomax chair, and other variations.

    Extractions: Here, however, we arrive at a problem: In order to put these recommendations into practice, a person would have to be a skilled observer of his or her own joint and muscle functioning and would have to be able to change his or her posture to a healthier one at will. No one develops this sort of highly refined sensory awareness without special training. Therefore, in order to derive the benefits of ergonomic research, we must learn how to observe our bodies in a new way.

My name is Dr. Jonathan Bailin. You can read more about me later. This article is part of the introduction to my moderated global usenet newsgroup which provides expert opinions about a group of injuries called Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). One severe form of RSI is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). As the previous fact points out, most RSI's are due to keyboard use. Please do not reproduce this FAQ without consulting me at RSI@USC.EDU. You may not change the content of the FAQ in any way but you may reformat it to better integrate it with your production media. *Any* FAQ information should not be used without confirming its validity and/or appropriateness. It may not be entirely correct or up to date. RSI sufferers should discuss all health matters with your attending health care practitioner. For those of you new to the topic of RSI, don't minimize its threat. It is a serious, and frequently career threatening, affliction. Early attention to it is usually critical. To conquer it, prepare to make behavioral and lifestyle changes as no best piece of equipment, technology, or magic bullet exists.

Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international multi-disciplinary refereed publication, with a 50 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people.
