NOVA Hand Therapy Center

Today We Reflect and Remember🇺🇸❤️🤍💙#911 #neverforget #novahandtherapy

Students Can Do “VIRTUALLY” Anything!🖥 Back to 🏫 is different for many students this fall.
Here are some tips to help make distance learning ergonomic friendly and safe:

*invest in an adjustable chair to provide proper support and good posture.🪑

*set the laptop at an appropriate height so the student’s eyes focus on the top third of the screen.💻

*stretching and taking breaks frequently helps prevent repetitive injuries to the hands, fingers and wrists.🖐

*use a mouse or ergonomic keyboard to help keep wrists healthy and rested.🐭⌨️

Stay safe and have a great school year!📚👍🏻#distancelearning #backtoschool #ergonomics #novahandtherapy
