The suitable seat height for office workers

Office chair is like a second bed for office workers, it is related to people's health. If office chairs that are too low, then people will be "tucked" in, leading to lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and shoulder muscle strains. Office chairs that are too high also can cause pain and inflammation in the inside of the elbow. So, what's the right height for a office chair?

 

When adjusting the height of an office chair, you should stand up, and keep one step away from the chair, then adjust the lever handle so that the highest point of the chair seat is just below the kneecap. This will give you the perfect position when you sit, with your feet flat on the ground and your knees bent at right angles.

Right seat height

In addition, the height of the table should also match the office chair. When sitting down, there should be enough space under the table for the legs to move freely, and the arm should not be lifted when using the keyboard or mouse. If your thighs often touch the table, you need to put some flat and consistent hard objects under the table legs to increase the height of the desk; If you work with arms elevated or frequent shoulder pain, you may want to raise the seat height of your chair. If your feet can't touch the ground or the chair seat is higher than your knees, just put a few books under your feet when you sit down. Then you can work comfortably with the suitable height.
