Ergonomists have suggested that everyone work within a so-called “comfort zone”. This is a semi-circle that your arms make as you reach out. Things that you use on a regular basis should ideally be within easy reach with your full arm. Things that you use frequently and repetitively should be within easy reach of your forearms.
Much of the time, problems with reach are simply matters of rearranging your work area and moving things closer to you. Often it is a matter of habit — you are unaware that you continually reach for something that could be easily moved closer. Or sometimes, the work surface is just too big, causing you to reach across to get something. One option is just to get a smaller surface. Another option is to make a cutout in the worksurface to allow the body to be closer to the work— this way your reaches are cut, but you still have plenty of surrounding space for items.
The parameters of the “comfort zone” are well defined dimensions that take into consideration body size, range of movement, muscle strength, clearances and reach/vision envelopes (see illustration below).
