Poor ergonomics and posture can cause back pain and discomfort. This discomfort or pain can worsen during certain times of the day. The pain tends to go away or lessen is you stand, or change your position. Staring at a computer or paperwork with your neck bent can cause a stiff neck, which turns into pain radiating from the neck that moves down the spine into the upper back, shoulders, continuing down into the lower back and extremities. Some ignore sudden back pain associated with a new job, thinking that it is stress, when in fact; it is due to bad posture, or the new chair that came with the new job.

Leaders sat on chairs to lift them higher than the others
Before wood folding chairs were invented, the clan leader probably sat on a stump or rock, while his followers sat or squatted on the ground below him. This arrangement would have established the clan hierarchy. The earliest records on manmade seating are from Mesopotamia, where sculptures and cylinder seals dated 3500 to 2800 B.C. show people sitting on benches and stools of various types.

The rapidly changing field of medicine
In the rapidly changing field of medicine, corporations such as ABBOTT Diagnostics are continually releasing new and advanced instrumentation to improve medical diagnosis and the treatment of diseases. With the ongoing growth of knowledge and advance of technology, equipment needs to be upgraded regularly. It is not uncommon for instrumentation to already be obsolete as soon as it reaches the market. This is not the manufacturer's fault; instrumentation must go through long and tedious procedures to obtain FDA approval. This also applies to reagents, testing procedures, and changes to clerical and maintenance policies. When a hospital, clinic, or physician goes the way of the medical equipment lease, they are not burdened by maintaining and upgrading the equipment. Upgrades, training, and annual or periodic maintenance are often provided for in the lease agreement.
