"If you are an accountant, contact ERGOMAN for recommendations for ways to decrease tension during the longer tax season work days.

Believe me, if using the calculator feels like a marathon and you feel your muscles stiff and exhausted, there is a better way! I learned and it was quick! Now, I get completed my work sooner each day with energy to spare."

Accountants: Hand it to yourself! Others may learn from what you learned.

Tension in neck while looking up Top of screen at about eye

___________________________________________________________

Lower back is twisted: Back is not under tension

1) No more torsional (twisting) tension on the discs in the lower back [vertebrae no. L5S1]

2) No more twisting neck to turn to speak with others since seat direction changed.

3) No more combating against the slanted desk to get full use of the keyboard.

4) Expensive monitor lifter arm is no longer needed. No more “crooked neck” or neck

5) Increased work surface area to the accountant's left side as the entire area of the

smaller desk is available for close-reaching to necessary documents.

6) As the calculator and telephone were used predominantly by the left hand, for use of

both now-there is not the excessive reach. Excessive reaching puts the wrist under

Additional recommendations taken under advisement for ongoing improvement:

a. Instead, get a chair ($450-850) with armrests which act as bridges lifting the arms

and taking tension off shoulder muscles. A chair which passed the ANSI/BIFMA

standards chair testing criteria is advised.

b. Get a palm rest pad ($15) for the calculator and a palm rest pad ($15) for the mouse.
