Tip #4

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Tip # 4

Get a chair that rolls easily. Many people have chairs that are difficult to roll on carpet. The result is that you dig your feet in and grab the desk with a lot a force to move forward or back resulting in strain in your hands, arms, shoulders and back which can lead to injury. Either get a chair that rolls easily or put a pad under your chair that makes it easier to move the chair. Note that hard casters on hard floors can cause the chair to move too easily and you can find yourself unexpectedly on the floor! Match the chair casters to the floor surface – carpet casters on carpet, softer casters on hard floors.
