Correct your posture with MISURA Ergo Stands

Not so long ago, there were no computers and no internet. And yet today many of us spend many hours in front of a computer. The human body is not built for sedentary work without movement. We are at risk of cervical spine problems, back problems and stiff necks from sitting at the computer for long periods of time. 

How to position the monitor correctly

According to a survey, up to 90% of people who work in sedentary jobs complain of back pain, lower back pain and eyestrain. But if you sit in the right position, the problems will subside. You'll get relief for your eyes, neck, shoulders and wrists. Is that really the case? According to a number of international studies, yes. 

When you sit down properly, pay attention to the correct positioning of the mouse and keyboard, they must not be too far away or too close. The monitor should be placed at or slightly below eye level and at least 50 cm away, about arm's length. It is therefore advisable to get a stand on which to place the laptop and adjust the height of the stand and the angle of the monitor. Adjusting the angle appropriately will ensure that you do not have to tilt your head forward or backwards too much. This is what can give us pain in the cervical spine. To verify that your setup is correct, remember the simple rule of right angle. 

How to choose a laptop stand?

Using an ergonomic laptop or tablet stand will help you achieve the right posture when working with your computer. Not only will you sit more comfortably, but you'll also last longer at work. There are many laptop stands on the market. How to choose the right one? 

First and foremost, the stand must have a sturdy enough construction to support your electronic device and not collapse under its weight. That's why it's important to choose a stand made of quality materials. Our MISURA stands are made of high-quality aircraft aluminium alloy, which is characterised by its long service life and high resistance to accidental bumps and falls on the ground. The aluminium also gives the figures an elegant look and modern design. We also provide a selection of subtle colours to complement your interior. Silicone grooves on the top support surface and on the bottom of the stand will prevent scratches on the desk and your laptop or tablet, and also give the stand even better stability. 

Use of a laptop stand

The advantage of most stands lies in their versatility. Even so, you can choose the one that's best suited to your conditions. So choose according to what you want to use the stand for. It also depends on the size of your laptop or tablet, where you'll be working with it, whether you'll need to carry it around, etc. 

The lighter stands like ME04, ME06, ME11 and ME12 are great for carrying around. They are easy to handle and can be taken anywhere, to the cottage or to work. The ME11 can be pulled up and used, for example, during a lecture for a presentation. For those who prefer to work with a tilted keyboard, the ME01, ME02 and ME07 will be perfect for them. The ME07 stand is suitable for connecting an external keyboard. For presenters who need a stand that can replace the lectern during their classes and presentations, the ME11, ME09, ME10 and ME14 are ideal.
