proper computer posture that will help your health



Proper Computer Posture That Will Help With Your Health

Introduction
Hi my name is Ben and I go to Hornby high school. These first few weeks of digital tech I have been learning about ergonomics and how it can help with your health in the future. I chose to do proper computer posture that'll help with your health.


Reflection
I used an amazing site called piktochart it was so easy to use and a lot of free images. It is also a free site you just log in with your google account. I liked how you can chose your own background. You can also upload your own images which I really liked.

I got all my information from www.digitalcare.org and I used piktochart to make my info graphic. (n.d.)


Question
How was your experience with piktochart?

A disease causing painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints.
Two common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful, degenerative joint disease that often involves the hips, knees, neck, lower back, or small joints of the hands.

In normal joints, a firm, rubbery material called cartilage covers the end of each bone. Cartilage provides a smooth, gliding surface for joint motion and acts as a cushion between the bones. In OA, the cartilage breaks down, causing pain, swelling and problems moving the joint. As OA worsens over time, bones may break down and develop growths called spurs. Bits of bone or cartilage may chip off and float around in the joint. In the body, an inflammatory process occurs and cytokines (proteins) and enzymes develop that further damage the cartilage. In the final stages of OA, the cartilage wears away and bone rubs against bone leading to joint damage and more pain.
