Height-adjustable desk

In addition to the ergonomic office chair, further measures should be created at the workplace to ensure ergonomic working. These include, above all, a height-adjustable desk. Thus, it is possible that, depending on the height of the person concerned, the desk chair may be very ergonomic, but the desk may be clearly too low or too high when the person is seated in an optimal position.

This can lead to poor posture of the back or neck despite the optimal sitting position due to the ergonomic office chair and thus potentially to diseases of the spine and chronic back pain. There are a number of different models. It should be considered whether a sitting position only or also a standing working position should be achieved by the height adjustment.

Both models with mechanical and electrical adjustment are available. Under certain circumstances, insurance companies can also cover a certain part of the purchase of a height-adjustable desk. As with the purchase of the office chair, a letter from the doctor regarding the health relevance of the individual case is often required.
