Have you ever left your computer feeling sore in your wrists or shoulders? Or does your neck feel strained form looking up or do

wn at your monitor? Take a moment next time you are at your workstation to see what your setup looks like. Ergonomics is the practice of designing and arranging objects to allow for efficiency and healthy alignment of the body while performing tasks. By doing a little research about an ergonomic workstation and then making small changes to your work area, you can prevent muscle strains and tension, headaches, pinched nerves, and other physical disorders. For example, raise or lower your chair so your feet can touch the ground and so it is at the proper height and distance from your keyboard and mouse. Also, you might need to prop your monitor on a sturdy platform to make the screen in line with your eyes so you do not have to lift or lower your head to see properly. Changes like these may seem small, but having an ergonomic workstation just might save you a trip to the doctor. Which of these best states the main idea?

Answer:

Do you work in an office and often experience neck or shoulder pain? You’e not alone. According to statistics, office and computer workers are among the most at risk groups for developing these chronic conditions, leading to financial loss and even disability. Neck pain ranks 4th in the leading causes of disability worldwide.

With that said, here are the 7 most common reasons you’re suffering from neck or shoulder pain at work, and how to fix them.

1. Looking Down Constantly at the Laptop Screen

Poor laptop posture

What most people do when using a laptop is to simply place it on their desk (or God forbid on their laps). This might be okay for a short while, but any time longer, and your neck and shoulders will start to feel it.

According to studies, even a 15° tilt of the neck to look down at the laptop screen doubles the amount of force exerted on our necks to hold up the head. If you place your laptop on your lap, that force can be 3 times as great compared to a straight neck.

Dr. Kenneth Hansraj, in his research found that, even though the human head only weighs 10 to 12 lbs on average, the weight drastically increases as the head tilts forward. At a 15° angle, the weight jumps to 27 lbs, 40 lbs at 30°, 49 lbs at 45°, and 60 lbs at 60°.

Hence, though the motion of looking down might seem harmless, doing it for long periods of time can lead to neck pain, upper back muscle spasms, and even damage the vertebrae.

Solution: Use a laptop stand to elevate the laptop screen to eye level.

The solution is simple,- use a laptop stand or even any old cardboard

When you consider the theme of a poem, all the elements contribute EXCEPT: Literary devices
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The correct answer is number of words.

When you are analyzing a poem, you are trying to find its meaning, or rather, the theme that the poem is presenting. There are many ways to do this, but the most common one is to interpret the literary devices the author used, the literal and figurative meaning of his/her words, and the structure of the poem itself.

Whether the poet used just a few or a lot of words has no particular impact on the theme of that particular poem.
