After a few years or even months, the muscle fatigue may cause ailments, pain or even more se- vere conditions, such as tendinitis, bursitis, neck pain, disk herniation and others. Even when your arms seem relaxed along your body, the shoulder and upper back muscles have to be contracted to keep the stability required for the precise work of your hands. These muscle contractions can reduce the blood flow up to 90 percent, which causes fatigue to accumulate and weaken your muscles and articulations. The Posiflex mobile elbow support sys- tem was developed to diminish the charge to the upper body in order to favor a good bloodstream. A scientific study demon- strated that using the Posiflex system contributes to achieving a more secure and comfortable work posture while sig- nificantly reducing muscle contractions in the shoulders, neck and upper body. This unique concept follows body movements. The elbow rests offer an appropriate sup- port of the arms while preserving the free- dom of movement. Precision work requires concentration and effort. We forget ourselves when we are concentrated on a task. The elbow supports enable practitioners to keep a good posture as they keep them in line. It is not possible to be on the supports 100 percent of the time. The studies dem- onstrated that with 50 percent of the time on the support, bloodstream is sufficient to preventanddiminishtension. Aftera short learning curve, the majority of users are on the supports 80 to 90 percent of the time. To learn more on ergonomics in the den- tal clinic, visit www.posiflexdesign.com.
