Re: Ergo escolar

Rolando Montecinos Quiñones comenta que hoy la población infantil tiene a temprana edad acceso a la computación, ya sea en sus hogares o en las escuelas y el mobiliario  computacional ha sido diseñado para el adulto, por lo que la postura adoptada por los niños es forzada.Ante esto ¿se pueden producir lesiones músculo esqueléticas en los niños? ¿Esto es a largo o corto plazo? ¿Que zona del cuerpo esta más propensa a degenerarse? Si pueden contestar estas inquietudes, estaré muy agradecido.

Sí, sin duda existen dichas lesiones. 
De hecho muchos niños se ven oligados a adoptar posturas de estudio (su "trabajo") del todo inadecuadas durante largos períodos. 
Esto genera síntomas y dolores, pero la mayor plasticidad corporal de los niños les protege (aunque no totalmente) de desarrollar cuadros serios de enfermedad.
Existe un grupo de profesionales que conformamos el Comité Técnico de la IEA en 
Ergonomía para niños y ambientes escolares, el ECCEE, en cuyo sitio web puedes encontrar más Info.
