ERGONOMICS – What Will Your BODY Be Like in 5 Years?
In today’s workplace, the ergonomic work area has changed. More and more employees are telecommuting, using a laptop, notebook, or a smart phone to stay in touch with clients. This technological change will begin to create new musculoskeletal problems for the employee. No longer will he or she sit at a desk or with the correct chair. Instead they will be sitting in Starbucks pounding away at their laptop, or texting on a Smartphone or sending new communication on their iPad. Posture goes out the window and injuries begin to set in. What will the employee of the future look like? Increased musculoskeletal injuries of the arms, wrists, hands, fingers, shoulders, upper back and lower back…Ah … can you see what the work force will look like of the future?
