Evaluating Computer Chairs
Posted by Ken
The process of evaluating computer chairs can be confusing.. You can start to look for chairs at the local office supply superstore. The next move was to contact your local furniture dealers and go through showroom visits and evaluate their offering of computer chairs. The computer chairs should start with the decision to specify adjustable arms. This is important to support the shoulders and upper body. The computer chair's mechanism requires the most attention. There are two basic controls to choose from. The chair control would be referred an active type control, which normally has adjustment to the back height and back angle which may be set by the user. The other chair adjustments include seat depth, seat height, seat pan angle and tilt tension adjustments. The active type control is the most ergonomic, but requires the user to understand the chair's mechanism and set it up to best fit. Most people, unless trained, will not set up the chair properly. So, if you purchase an active ergonomic computer chair, make sure that your employees are trained to set it up properly. The other type of chair would be a more passive chair control. This chair is available with adjustable arms, but the control has less adjustments and requires only tilt tension and chair height controls. Chair back height adjustments may be available. In conclusion, take time in selecting the right computer chair. If ergonomics are necessary, especially in intensive or long term computer use, consider the active control computer chair. If this is not the situation, a passive computer chair might be the answer.

This article on computer chairs is right on regarding the adjustability issue. Education on how to adjust the chairs is key when new chairs are purchased or if employees are not using their chair correctly. We purchased new chairs for a number of workstations and no one knew how to adjustment them to fit correctly. We had the salesman come in and educate the supervisors in each department on the correct way to adjust the chairs. Then the supervisors instructed their team how to adjust the chairs. This was a good to have the supervisors involved so when new employees are hired or there are questions about how to adjust the chairs, they have a person in the company to go to. Active ergonomic chairs are the best when used properly

An ergonomically designed chair is absolutely essential for ppl working on computers. A friend has damaged her back very badly due to negligence. I myself had a stiff right hand due to excessive use of the mouse. Have started using palm exercisers now.
