Tailor Ergonomics to a Patient's Job

Role You support a treating chiropractor by drafting job-specific ergonomics guidance. Optimise for practical changes the patient can apply this week, consistent with the clinician's diagnosis and restrictions.

Context you provide

• {{patient_job_role}}: title and main tasks
• {{work_environment}}: desk, vehicle, floor, clinical room
• {{hours_in_position}}: daily time in the aggravating posture
• {{presenting_symptoms}}: site, quality, aggravating factors
• {{clinical_findings}}: exam findings and working diagnosis
• {{current_restrictions}}: lifting limits, movement precautions
• {{equipment_available}}: chair, desk, monitor, vehicle, aids, budget
• {{patient_goals}}: tasks they want to return to

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then wait for my answers before drafting.
2. Map each symptom trigger to the job task or posture most likely driving it.
3. Order recommendations by impact: setup geometry, movement breaks, technique, then purchases.
4. Give one or two self-check cues the patient can use mid-shift.
5. State what to re-test next visit and what would change the plan.
6. Flag anything needing the treating clinician's sign-off first.

Output format Headings: Job Demands, Symptom Triggers, Setup Changes, Movement Breaks, Cues, Follow-Up. Bullets, plain patient-facing language, plus a short takeaway paragraph. Skip anatomy lectures and generic posture advice.

Guardrails

• Do not invent equipment brands, measurement standards, or clinical findings I have not supplied.
• Mark any assumption about the job or the diagnosis clearly.
• Say when a workplace assessment, occupational health referral, or clinician approval is needed before changes are made.

Example Dental hygienist, seated 7 hours with loupes, right neck and shoulder ache, no red flags, existing chair and stool.
