Posture
Good posture is the basis of good workstation ergonomics. Computer-related injuries usually occur
gradually and often go unnoticed until there is significant discomfort. The single largest factor
in office injuries is poor posture. While improper posture may not result in an injury after a
week, a month or even a year, prolonged exposure to improper posture will greatly increase the risk
of developing an injury. Although it is possible for these injuries to heal themselves when the
ergonomic hazard is removed, cases do exist where individuals have done enough damage to require
corrective therapy, in addition to removing the hazard. Good posture is the best way to avoid a
computer-related injury.
