The “Sitting” Position and Its Implications in Dental Technology. General Aspects of Improving the Quality of Life - Part I

Specifically, maintaining a prolonged sitting position is considered to be associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders in the back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, hips, knees and legs. The purpose of this study is to generate data, which can be used to support decisions on improving the health of dental technicians, whose basic activity is carried out in a sitting position at the work table, in order to improve the quality of life. Implementation of ergonomic measures, in the area where professional activities directly affect the physical and mental health of the employee, is of great importance.
