Learning Materials

In the current era, not a few people ignore the correct sitting position. The correct
sitting position can also be called ergonomic sitting. Ergonomics is a seat that guarantees
comfort and is ergonomic. While ergonomics is the study of human work procedures with
limitations and strengths so that the achievement of conditions and work environments that
are healthy, comfortable, safe, efficient and productive.
The goal with the value of ergonomics is to get satisfaction or comfort in the long
term. Sanders and McCormick (1992) in Sarimurni and Murtopo (2004) suggest that
ergonomics has two main objectives, namely increasing effectiveness and efficiency where
work and other activities are carried out. While the benefits of ergonomics, namely
improving performance such as work safety, optimizing the utilization of human resources by
increasing the necessary skills and can improve comfort in work. Furthermore, It can reduce
wasted time and minimize damage caused by human activities.
Sanders & McCormick
(1987) give words to set the
height at the time mentioned as
follows:
1. Provide a table and adjust the
height.
2. The arm must light up in a
relaxed position from the
shoulder to the forearm towards
a horizontal position or slightly
decrease.
3. The height of the work ground is not necessary.
Moreover, there are some tips for correct sitting positions, such as the following:
1. Sit up straight with your back straight and back shoulder (90˚).
2. Bend your knees at the correct angle (90˚).
3. Don't cross your legs.
4. Place the chair close to the table.
5. Relax your arms and elbows.
6. Don't twist or rotate your back.
 Correct and wrong sitting position can be observed the difference in the following

picture:
The habit of sitting in the wrong position in front of a computer screen can have an
impact on health, especially affects bone and skeletal growth. Some disorders
of the spine are as follows:
1. Scoliosis, this disorder is a disorder of the shape of the back spine that
bends right or left. This can happen because the sitting position is
sideways for too long.
2. Kifosis, this disorder is a disorder in the shape of the spine with a
backward curve that causes a person to look like a bow.
3. Lordosis, an abnormality in the shape of the spine that curves
forward so that the abdomen becomes more forward. This can
happen because someone leaning on the table for too long.
The impact of the wrong sitting position is not the only disruption in the spine
but an impact on diseases that damage the skeleton. These disorders are:
1. Polio
Polio sufferers will experience paralysis so that the bone gradually shrinks.
Prevention of polio by administering polio vaccine carried out by mouth
when under five years old.
2. Rickets
Rickets is a disorder of obstructed bone growth. This disorder
can occur because people with vitamin D deficiency and
morning sunlight cause leg bones to become weak and usually in the form of O or X.
3. Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis or porous bone is a disorder that causes bones easily
broken. The cause of this disorder is the body lacking lime (calcium).
How to prevent osteoporosis is to eat foods that contain lots of vitamin D
and calcium such as fish and milk.
4. Rheumatic
Rheumatism is a disease that causes pain and is accompanied by
swelling of joints in the joints. This disorder is usually in the joints of the
feet, hands, and elbows. If rheumatism is not treating, it will cause
dangerous complications such as the heart.
The following are muscle relaxation
movements to prevent the impact of the
wrong sitting position:

2. Clenching both hands and hitting
lightly at the waist.
3. Bend down and straighten up

2. Rotate both hands with the position of the elbow straight pulled back from front to
back and vice versa.
3. Straighten the right hand from the front
pulled to the side, then do the opposite.
c. Hand and finger muscle relaxation

movement with your elbows bent in
front of your chest.
 2. Stick both fingers with the palm of the handout and the position of the elbow
