Skolestole og ergonomi

School chairs should be redesigned, pain in the neck or back is serious. This is something that would be normal for an adult, but nowadays children and teenagers are suffering because of school. Four out of 10 parents experience that their children's have physical discomfort due to the ergonomic design of the indoor climate at the school shows a new study by Magasinet Skolebørn.

Good ergonomics is an important part of our lives, but school is not the only reason pain can occur, it can also be because of the way we teach nowadays. A big impact on the pain occuring is also because we sit still most of the day, or bent over using tablets or smartphones. As Chalotte Runge also describes “Vi har skabt en kultur hvor børnene sidder meget ned på samme måde i meget lang tid af gangen. Og det er lidt absurd, for børn bruger hele kroppen til at lære med.” Which is translated to “We have created a culture where children sit down in the same way for a lot of time. And that’s a little absurd, because children use their whole body to learn”.
