Questions 1-3 refer to the following article.

The average adult spends 6-8 hours a day using a computer, depending on job duties and leisure time.  Although working on a computer doesn’t seem like fatiguing work, the stress on the body can lead to repetitive strain injuries (RSI).  These injuries are caused by a number of factors including having bad posture, pressing against hard surfaces, and performing repetitive tasks such as typing and using a mouse.

To prevent those work-related aches and pains from computer, you might want to take a closer look at ergonomics. Ergonomics is the study of how humans interact with the tools in their environment and how to better design this equipment to promote performance and well being. Healthcare providers now have much more information about this field than they did in the past. Although there are numerous consumer products available that claim “ergonomic design,” you can easily create an ergonomic space by making a few minor changes to your desk setup and posture.

Take a close look at the setup of your desk space. You should have a quality chair that is supportive in the lower back and your computer screen should be placed just below eye level. While seated, always sit so that the spine is against the back of your chair and do not slump the shoulders forward. Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at the sides of the body. While typing, remember to keep your wrists in a neutral position and do not tilt them up or down. Taking frequent breaks from your computer to stretch will also help your body rest and maintain good blood circulation.

해석
일반 성인의 경우, 업무의 종류와 여가 시간에 따라, 하루에 6~8시간 컴퓨터를 사용한다. (1)컴퓨터를 사용하는 것이 고된 작업이 아닌 듯하지만, 신체에 미치는 스트레스로 인하여 반복성 긴장 장애(RSI)로 발전할 수 있다. 이러한 장애를 일으키는 몇 가지 요소들이 있는데, 나쁜 자세, 딱딱한 표면을 누르기, 그리고, 타이핑이나 마우스 사용처럼 반복적인 작업을 수행하는 것 등이 있다.

컴퓨터 사용으로 인한 업무 관련 통증을 막기 위해서, 인간환경공학에 대해 좀더 자세히 알아 보자. (1)인간환경공학이란 인간이 삶의 환경에서 사용하는 도구들에 대하여 어떻게 상호작용하는지, 그리고 삶의 질과 업무 성과를 향상시키기 위하여 이러한 도구들의 디자인 개선을 연구하는 학문 분야이다.

건강관리 사업체에서 이 분야에 대해 과거보다 훨씬 많은 정보를 가지고 있다. (2)‘인간환경공학 디자인’이라 주장하는 수많은 상품이 있지만, 여러분은 책상의 배치와 자세에 대하여 몇 가지 작은 변화로써 인간환경공학적인 공간을 만들 수 있다.

책상 배치 공간을 살펴보자. (3)여러분은 등 하단부를 받쳐주는 고품질의 의자를 구비 해야 하고, 컴퓨터 스크린은 눈높이의 바로 아래에 위치해야 한다. 앉아 있는 동안은 척추를 의자 등받이에 붙여 어깨가 앞쪽으로 기울어지지 않도록 해야 한다. 어깨는 편안하게 하고, 팔꿈치를 몸 옆에 붙이도록 해야 한다. 타이핑을 하는 동안은, 손목을 평평하게 유지하되, 위 아래 쪽으로 기울게 해서는 안 된다. 자주 휴식을 취하여 스트레칭을 해주는 것이 신체의 휴식과 혈액 순환에 도움이 될 것이다.
