The World Health Organization reports that 1.7 billion people worldwide suffer from musculoskeletal disorders ??, making them the leading causes of disability across the globe. Low back pain, in particular, is highlighted as the primary reason for disability in 160 nations. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has observed a 28% increase in long-term sick leave ?? among workers due to back issues from 2019 to 2023, with 778,786 reported cases of long-term economic inactivity linked to neck or back health problems in 2023 alone. Poor posture while seated at desks ?? is a common issue that contributes to these problems. The common habit of slouching or neglecting proper chair back support can have detrimental long-term health effects. Incorporating solutions to foster healthy working habits when using computers ??, alongside ergonomic chairs, is critically important. Such measures can significantly mitigate the risks associated with prolonged sitting and poor posture, thereby enhancing worker health and productivity ??. Source: https://lnkd.in/ebDNDagJ
