If the chair or desk is not appropriate
to your body size, you may have to hold an awkward posture that leads to symptoms
of WMSD. Dangling feet brought about by chairs that are too high will impede blood
circulation in the legs and contribute to back discomfort. Chair height that is
too high also creates discomfort because of increased pressure on your legs and
buttocks. On the other hand, a chair that is too low leads to elevation of the
arms and shoulders. |

Use a chair with adjustable height and
tilt. Select a chair that also provides adequate back support. For stability,
choose chairs that come with 5 castors. |
