Ergonomic assesment

Having improperly adjusted chair, working desk, screen and mouse setup may affect your working ergonomics. Consequently, working in poor position together with prolonged sitting may cause localized tensions in specific parts of your body. For example, back pain or headache can be symptoms of poor ergonomics in your working setup. However, the poor ergonomics can also worsen these issues if already present due to some other reason.

Our goal, in the CampusMoWe online clinic, is to provide you a service that helps with arranging of your working space to prevent or ease all above mentioned issues.

Specifically, the improper working position may cause:

• slowing of the blood supply and consequently fatigue in muscles, creating a greater tension on the spine. Consequently, a steady compression on the spinal discs slows nutrition and may contribute in their premature degeneration
• insufficient blood flow returning to the heart from the lower legs (blood pooling effect)
• restricted individual’s movement, breathing or hinder the normal functions of the internal organs.
  
  

Muscle fatigue as caused by limited blood supply is also one of the reasons why individuals working at the desk with minimal other activity often feel tired at the end of their work shift.

In the following questionnaire, you can provide us information concerning your work environment and basic health information. This information may help us to specifically prepare for the ergonomic evaluation of your working space prior the online assessment. However, filling the form related to your health information is optional.

Data will not be used/shared outside of this student Telehealth project. Anamnesis form will be stored in CampusMoWe database. Further, none of materials collected during the online meeting as well as results of the assessment/consultation will not be stored outside of the CampusMoWe database. All the data will be deleted after last meeting.
