Computer ergonomics can get complex. 😵💫
This article will talk about terms that helped me understand computer ergonomics better.
Computer Posture Key Terms: Part 5
Postural Fatigue
This is what happens when our support muscles get tired, often leading to slouching and compensation patterns.
Working at a computer for long periods of time is an uneven endurance event. Some of my muscles are deactivated and not used at all. While other muscles can be constantly overused.
Proprioception
This is our internal sense of body position and movement.
Ergonomics is all about efficiency. Having a high level of proprioception allows me to move quickly with decreased pain and higher work productivity.
