Before you begin a new, lengthy task, take 60 seconds to relax
deeply and breathe.
Ergonomics professionals often say, "Your best posture is
your next posture." In other words, the healthiest thing that
you can do for your posture is to keep moving. Move as much as
possible and avoid maintaining a static position for an extended
period of time.
Choose the right stool
The unique physical requirements of dentistry pose several
challenges to manufacturers who strive to provide optimal seating
solutions. Stools that best meet the needs of the entire dental team
will excel in the following ways:
* Adjustability. To provide a great fit, a seat should provide easy
movement for seat height and tilt, and back height and tilt. If
these adjustments are not simple or the ranges of motion don't
match the user's needs, you can't achieve proper access to the
oral cavity with minimal stress on the musculoskeletal system.
* Back support. A great seat should enable and encourage a
neutral, S-shaped spine by providing low lumbar support and
the right height, angle and forward position compared to the
seat pocket. These requirements are very different from the
needs of a computer desk user.
Seat support. You should experience comfort and security at
a slight forward tilt. Do you feel support where it is needed
(sitting bones) and relief where it is not (thighs)? Hips should
be positioned above the knees to pivot the pelvis forward and
position you for a low stress, S-shaped spine (Fig. 1).
Dynamic performance. The seat armature should be
flexible, to move as the user moves, and encourage slight
adjustments that minimize repetitive stress. Seat and thigh
pockets are the most important areas to have dynamic rather
than rigid support, so that blood flow through the femoral
arteries is not inhibited.
