08The last year has revolutionized the lives of millions of people around the world, changing, among other things, the way we approach work. We started connecting from home, thinking it would be a temporary solution. “It won’t last more than two months,” we said, “we’ll be back soon to go to the office every day,” we thought. And for this reason, many of us have adapted to temporary solutions: we occupied the kitchen counter with the computer, or we leaned on that small table in the room, because it was the only corner, even if a little uncomfortable, to have silence and privacy.
But we soon realized these choices were bad for our health. Who hasn’t had back pain or neck pain in recent months? Few people. Many of us have understood that one work station unsuitable can damage our body and affect posture, thus contributing to the general malaise of our body, already tried by the stress of these difficult moments we are experiencing.
And if on the one hand it smart working it is a new good habit that many do not want to give up, because it has allowed us to return to better manage our lives, between home and work, on the other hand it is clear to everyone that it will no longer be an emergency solution. Initial predictions that it would last a short time have been disregarded and more and more workers routinely do their work at home.
So, today more than ever it is necessary to analyze our home workstation to understand if the tools we are using are good for our health and well-being. This is why theergonomics: discipline that deals with problems relating to human work in relation to the design of furnishings and environments.
THE RULES FOR A CORRECT POSTURE IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER
Most of us are working from home with a laptop and for this reason following the rules is essential. Here we list some very important ones:
– having separate monitors and control tools allow you to keep the video at the right distance, thus not straining the eyes.
– An ergonomic vertical mouse avoids twisting of the forearm bones and allows a natural hand position.
– a mat, or a support for the arms, cushion the stresses due to the support on the surface and can also ‘lengthen’ the work space, helping to keep the head / neck / shoulders axis vertical.
– a height-adjustable chair allows correct posture and ensures movement, to improve back mobility and concentration.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SADDLE CHAIRS?
The position assumed on these chairs allows you to unload much of the weight that would instead weigh on the lumbo-sacral area on the ground, thus preserving the physiological structure of the spine which, inspired by a naturally upright position, maintains the comfort of a position semi-sitting.
The lumbar curve is safeguarded, the angles of the hip joint are open and the muscles are in balance and relaxed, thus relieving the body tension often associated with incorrect sitting.
The chair sways slightly and this unknowingly activates a controlling movement of the torso and legs that promote the well-being of the whole body. This allows to improve the flow of oxygen, keeping the level of energy and concentration high.
