Protect the spine of distance learning students

 The tables and chairs that students use in class are very important in online education. The monitor on the table should be at eye level and at arm's length, with the backrest of the chair. Experts emphasize that the inward bending of the waist when sitting should be supported by lumbar support.

We present this research:

The table and chair used by children starting distance education at home should be chosen correctly. Doctors say that it is important to have a gap between the table and the height of the legs when calculating the height of the desk. The feet should touch the ground completely and there should be no gaps.

The chair should have back support

There should be a place under the feet that will not impede movement. The seat should be reclining, armrests and height adjustable. Having at least 3 meters of space behind the table and chair will help you to move comfortably and protect against wrong movements.

Table lights may be needed

The classroom should be well lit. In addition, the room should be ventilated. There should be a window that opens to the outside or a ventilation system. Air conditioning systems should be placed so that they do not come into contact with the child's neck, back and waist. Lighting can sometimes cause eye strain and related headaches.

The monitor should be at eye level

If the computer is to be taught, the monitor should be in front of the child and one arm away. Proper hand movement on the keyboard and desk is important during the lesson. When working with the keyboard in the extended position, the elbow opening should be more than 100 degrees. The wrists should rotate over and the elbows should bend, with the club head bring behind. When sitting, the temperature between the body and the legs should be around 130 degrees, never below 90 degrees.

Must be moved during the break

Exercises to relax the neck and back should be done between lessons. It is important to take a break from class after 1 hour. Intervals should not be less than 10-15 minutes. At the very least, the position should be changed and a stable posture should be avoided
