      I can tell you what is wrong in this video. Desk is too high making his chair too high. The 8" gape between top of the desk and bottom of the top is too excessive. For the average person their arms will rest about 4" above their thighs. Giving your elbows and knees a perfect 90 degree angle.

    Home office worker here: as someone with occasionally 6+ hours of back to back meetings a day, the only solution for me was completely avoid sitting by promoting my desk to a standing one. Then I do calf stretches, occasional bending of the torso etc. Comes a lot more natural when standing compared to sitting.

    • @atriyakoller136
      @atriyakoller136 Год назад +4

      Good for you. I've considered standing working environments but they'd be much more painful for me because I can't stand without pain for longer than 10-15 minutes - I need to walk lr sit down. But if it works, it's amazing.
      And stretches don't help much, but that's probably because I have a lot of vascular problems in my legs specifically

      There is minimal evidence behind ergonomic interventions being important. Little to no research out there says "elbows have to be @ 90 degrees" or computer screen is "an arms length away". It all sounds great, but is it backed by anything? When these people can bring scientific research out that backs this stuff up, then they can start being important. Fear mongering at the start of "leaning, slouching etc. can lead to pain" is what this industry strives off.
      Best part of the video is at the end, giving exercises + saying to get up every hour. That is helpful, the changes before that are all unnecessary.

      @@TTPF29 Yes, there is voluminous research and published findings. These studies began more than a century ago with so-called Time and Motion studies, which were done for assembly plants, offices, and the like. Numerous scholarly books were written on that subject through the 1950s when the aerospace industry took off. At that time other key words were often used, but Ergonomics became most often associated with such studies. Private industry and academia continued to research the field, but NASA and the military put big research into the field because of manned space flight and jet cockpit design, which must be optimal. Fortunately, many of these studies have been published by the government in large softback volumes and multi-volume sets resembling telephone books (in outward appearance). The volumes are impressive and broad in scope. This I know to be a fact because the research institution that I am affiliated with has more than two dozen of the aforementioned volumes.

    Ergonomics is such an underrated, or at least not very apparent, part of work (any type of work, from desksto kitchens to factories) and life in general. Most people invest a fair amount of money on taking care of our phones or computers, but usually not as much on taking care of ourselves, so it's great when companies prioritize ergonomics, taking care of their people through mostly small but impactful changes

    I did all those exercises/stretches subconsciously without evening knowing (or acknowledging that what I was doing was even an exercise or stretch) that they were actually a thing.. I had found over time and personal experience that stretching in those ways helped reset the "strain/tension timer" for those areas of my body so I just did them naturally without even questioning or thinking about it. Really neat how the human body and brain works if you think about it..

      I used to play CSGO w/ very slow 600 eDPI sensitivity (had to move the mouse 27.2727 inches for 360° rotation).
      Needless to say, my right shoulder socket started to develop RSI lol.
      I then slowed it down to 800 eDPI (20.4545 inches for 360° rotation), which is still slow, but that is the median (most popular) mouse sens for pros.
      The crazy thing is that Polish CSGO pro, MICHU, plays with insane 332 eDPI (49.2881"/360° rotation ). I don't know how he does it
