Musculoskeletal Disorders:
According to Wikipedia, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are injuries or pain in the body’s joints, ligaments, muscles nerves, tendons and structure that support lib, neck and back. Due to the sedentary lifestyle and because employees maintain the same posture over long hours of sitting, the constant strain and pressure may injure the musculoskeletal section and contribute to WRMDs. Usually bad posture and lack of quality ergonomic chairs are the major reason. Traditional chairs lack the ability to offer sufficient support to the lower spine and thus sitting unsupported for long periods of time puts pressure on the spine and strain the musculoskeletal section. This when continues for long period results in musculoskeletal disorders.
Sitting long hours on traditional chairs which lack sufficient ergonomic design puts pressure on the lower back and joints which when continues overtime puts even more pressure on the musculoskeletal section and thus results in pain that becomes a grave problem.
