Oakland, CA - Best Ergonomic Evaluation Workplace Assessment by Local Ergonomist

SYNOPSIS: Adjustable electric standing desks, especially those that are quick and easy to switch between sitting and standing, are a great way to encourage varying position and proper adjustment at a computer.

Stand up for Ergonomics and use a standing desk.

One thing folks always wanted to give a go is a standing desk. Mostly the people that approach me are having lower back or hip problems and generally do not assume great postures at the computer. So how does one deal with the discomfort and tightness or pain. The main issue is that decent standing desks tend to be expensive so people do not want to go and spent a lot of money for something that would be used for a week and never again. Plus they do not even know if they're going to feel like it's right for them. There are a lot of very affordable height adjustable desk options and many can use a "hack" to figure out how to assembly one from very cost effective items they have around the house and items purchased on Amazon. Of course, don't forget IKEA as an option too. It's good to consult an ergonomic specialist or at least someone who has consulted an ergonomist beforehand. It can turn out to be much better than you may expect it to be. During the pandemic, a lot of products have hit the Amazon marketplace ensuring that folks working from home are not left out from a proper computer setup. These solutions generally don't break the bank but also are not going to last a lifetime. The outcome may look a little funky but the function is what matters. This is always more important to consider if you want to make ergonomics a priority. The cool thing about you designing your own workstation is you can decide on the aesthetics like colors, maybe you like a modern style or a vintage one. You would only want to ensure that all the components of a computer workstation are included and they all properly work together to properly fit you. No one else! You are the most important item in the computer workstation picture. Remember that you will be spending possibly hours there. There are no wrong answers when it comes to design and furniture as long as you follow the ergonomic design principles. You want to ensure your feet are planted, your lower back is supported sufficiently, your elbows match the keyboard height, and your display is at the ideal height and distance. You would read the specifications of what you are purchasing closely and match things up. However, if you find yourself lost, you can always reach out to an ergonomic specialist with Ergobility to help you out.
