Ergonomics

Consequences of poor sitting posture

Many pain-related problems resulting from an incorrect sitting posture can be grouped under one term: RSI. Repetitive Strain Injury, described as ‘a physical condition caused by repetitive overloading’. It is a general term for various pain complaints resulting from chronic overuse. This is only a part of the possible consequences of poor sitting posture. Sitting poorly puts the greatest pressure on the lumbar intervertebral discs, more than standing and more than lying down. This causes disc-related issues such as degeneration and eventually herniation.

A perfectly adjustable work environment is ergonomically very important. A considerate amount of the labour force sits for 8 hours and beyond in a poor or unsuitable office chair, resulting in a bad sitting posture. As a result, numerous (chronic) physical complaints arise.

Tension in the neck: The pain in the neck can radiate to the shoulders and back. Neck and shoulder pain (40%) and back pain (44%) are the most common complaints.

Tendinitis: This tendon inflammation is not only painful but also restricts movement.

Lumbago: Lower back pain that can radiate to the legs.

Knee inflammation: bursitis not only causes pain but also swelling of the front of the knee.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: The compression of the nerve in the hand causes pain and/or numbness in the first 3 fingers.”

Inflammation in the tendons of the hand: this causes pain in the wrist and/or forearm.

Tennis elbow: Condition on the outside of the elbow. This pain radiates to the wrist and fingers.

The correct sitting posture

In order to avoid unnecessary discomfort and pain, it is important to sit in a healthy and dynamic manner. With a high-quality ergonomic office chair that includes lumbar support and height-adjustable features, you can adopt the correct sitting posture and ensure that you work pain-free and ergonomically. Here are some tips to achieve a good and customized ergonomic sitting position in your home or work environment.

1. Distance between eyes and screen: between 50 and 70 cm

2. Shoulders relaxed, not raised

3. Forearms are horizontal, elbows at a slightly greater than 90° angle
4. Distance between knees and desk: 8 to 10 cm
5. Maintain a fist-sized clearance to avoid pressure on the back of the knees
6. Legs at an angle of at least 90°
7. Feet resting on the floor (or optionally a footrest)

8. Backrest in contact with the entire back

9. Adjust the height of the backrest to properly support the pelvis and lower back
10. Utilize the entire seating surface

► Refer to the detailed explanation of each ergonomic adjustment technique in our knowledge base. In the 7-step plan for the correct sitting posture you’ll learn how to exactly adjust your office chair.

The foundation of an ergonomic work environment often starts with an ergonomic office chair. Due to technological advancements are laptops, smartphones, and tablets causing health issues to the neck or back too. An adjustable laptop stand, along with the right office chair, can help prevent and even resolve these problems. When using a smartphone or tablet, the sitting posture and thus the seating adjustment are particularly important.

The ergonomic office chair

Discover our wide range of office chairs. They excel not only in ergonomics and flexibility but also in terms of their reliability: with a 10-year warranty, you can be sure that the investment is worthwhile. Our ergonomic chairs and office desks always come with a quality label. The height-adjustable 3D or 4D armrests provide relief for the neck. The seat height, seat depth, and backrest counter pressure are all adjustable. Additionally, the Interstuhl Airpad is known for its unique Body-Float, a patented system of dynamic sitting because the best sitting posture is an active one. By sitting actively and moving sufficiently, you keep your back fit and strong and prevent a weakened back. Lastly, both seating solutions also feature a “negative seat tilt” that activates the back muscles and relieves the lower back.

Standing Desks

New studies show that standing for two to four hours a day has a positive impact on your health. Standing at your workstation is not always easy or feasible. That’s why we should all have access to a standing desk, allowing us to choose between sitting and standing while working at any given moment.

Furthermore, employees should be given the opportunitie to take regular breaks from sitting and walk around. To compensate for the lack of movement and reduce absenteeism, occupational physicians recommend the so-called “ergonomics formula”: 50% of work hours should be spent sitting, 25% standing, and the remaining time in motion. We recommend standing for a maximum of 1 hour continuously while working, to avoid other strains: variety is the spice of life.

Standing desks are definitely not an eyesore. They are designed to fit seamlessly into any regular office environment. Moreover, they are highly functional! There is an almost infinite number of different configurations and additional options available.

A large collection of these standing desks features an electric motor. The tabletop can be adjusted to the desired height with a convenient control panel. Moreover, they are highly programmable, allowing you to switch between sitting and standing work quickly and easily without any obstacles.
