Common Workstation Issue: Desk is Too High
Have you ever experienced discomfort while working at your desk? One of the most common workstation-related issues is having a desk that is too high. This can lead to awkward postures, increased muscle strain, and long-term discomfort, affecting productivity and overall well-being.
Let’s see how we can fix this issue!
Solutions to a High Desk
- Use a Keyboard Tray: One effective way to correct this issue is to purchase a keyboard tray. A keyboard tray allows you to lower your keyboard and mouse to a more comfortable level, ensuring that your arms remain at a neutral position while typing.
- Utilize a Footrest: Another great solution is to use a footrest. If lowering the keyboard isn’t an option, elevating your chair can help you maintain a proper posture. A footrest will support your feet, reducing strain on your legs and lower back.
Why is Ergonomic Setup Important?
An ergonomically optimized workstation enhances comfort, minimizes the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, and promotes productivity. Simple adjustments, like lowering the keyboard or using a footrest, can significantly improve your work experience.
