Some have labeled it as the nerdiest man-cave ever, but as a student, father, and employee at The Human Solution, I need a secluded place to relax and to work. I’ve recently finished version 3.0 of my ergonomic home office.
The primary workstation is highly ergonomic and is used for gaming, watching movies, work, editing photos, and research. I sit in a silver colored ME7ERG Raynor Ergohuman Chair, and I use an ergonomic Evoluent Vertical Mouse. Attached to the desk is a HumanScale

Most office chairs are designed to accommodate people within the 5th to 95th height percentile. This range covers the 5th percentile female at 60.2 inches to the 95th percentile male at 73.6 inches. This range means that ergonomic chairs are designed to fit 95% of the total population. So where do people outside of this range sit?
The truth is very few people outside of this range have ever given it a second thought. They’ve just become accustomed to being uncomfortable. If you fall

Let’s face it, I sit too much. The chances are you also sit too much. Various studies are pointing to the worrisome possibility that the more you sit the shorter your life span. This makes sense, as comfortable as sitting can be at times; our bodies weren’t really designed to do it for a long period of time.
Although this is a physiological issue and not a philosophical issue, the wisdom of the Greeks can still be applied to our subject. The Temple of Apollo at Delphi bore the

We recently attended the Applied Ergonomics Conference in San Antonio, and our team enjoyed the Ergocup competition and the ergonomic workshops offered during the event. One of the workshops we attended discussed the importance of developing and sustaining ergonomic programs in a hospital setting. I think the information below also applies to any business trying to get an ergonomics program rolling, especially when dealing with employees that do more manual labor or repetitive tasks on

A 2003-2004 U.S. survey concluded that Americans spend more than half of their day sitting. That number may not be news, but the fact that all that sitting may actually shorten one’s life span is frightening information. Several recent studies have suggested that people who spend most of their day sitting may have shorter life spans. While the research is still in its early stages and experts have yet to determine how many hours a day is too much, it would be wise for all of us to find

Looking for the review of the Evoluent Vertical Mouse? Or are you looking for the product listing of the Evoluent Vertical Mouse?
There are primarily three questions concerning the Evoluent that I regularly come across.
The first one is, “How do you say Evoluent?” Start off like you are saying evolution, but you stop at “evolu” and add an “ent” on the end, similar to the word “fluent”.
The second question is, “Don’t you feel the bottom of your hand dragging on the mouse pad?”

The Evoluent Mouse, just like anything you use that is different, takes a couple of hours to get used to, and then a few days to become proficient. If you are looking for a low-cost way to improve your comfort at the computer, this should be your first step. This vertical mouse embodies the essence of ergonomics.
You can try the difference right now as you read this. Hold out your hand like you’re using a regular mouse where your palm is facing down towards a desk surface or

This past week, I was given the privilege of writing a report on Foot Stools including the ever popular Humanscale FM100, Humanscale FM300, and Humanscale FM500. After staring at a blank screen for an hour wondering
what exactly I was going to write about what I considered to be a “glorified foot stool”, I decided to do a little research to see exactly what the fuss was about.
Did you know that research studies have shown that 70% of all women and 40% of all men have health
