Covid-19 impact on students
The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the education sector and classes have been suspended to enforce social distancing. Educational institutions, from schools to universities, have shifted to online methods of teaching and evaluation.
Students who have to sit for long hours in front of laptops or mobiles for online classes, often maintaining poor posture on the bed, sofa or dining table, which leads to health issues including back, shoulder, and neck pain, which can affect their performance, company officials said.
The ‘SFH-Student Package’ comprises a light-weight, all-mesh ergonomic chair with minimal parts; an M2.1 monitor arm designed for adaptability; a keyboard tray that allows the user a healthy, neutral position to sit; and a foot rocker that relieves soreness from static sitting by gentle rocking of the feet; a fixed desk and pedestal with two drawers.
‘Right study station’
Customers can choose the Humanscale laptop holder (instead of the M2.1 monitor arm) that raises the laptop screen height to promote good ergonomic posture while improving user comfort.
Satish Nandagopal, Founder and Director, S Cube Ergonomics, said the right study station can make a huge difference. Poor posture and lack of movement can be damaging, resulting in increased stress levels, making it difficult for students to focus.
