To maintain the proper posture:
• Position your computer chair to make sure that your elbows are at or slightly above the
keyboard to get a comfortable typing position.
• Adjust the height of your chair to make sure that your knees are slightly higher than your
hips to relax the backs of your thighs. If necessary, use a footrest to raise the level of your
knees.
• Adjust the back of your chair so that the base of your spine is rmly supported and angled
slightly backward.
• Sit upright with your knees, elbows and hips at an approximately 90º angle when you are at
the PC.
• Place the monitor directly in front of you, and turn the top of the monitor screen even with
your eye level so that your eyes look slightly downward.
• Keep the mouse close to the keyboard, and if necessary, use a wrist rest for support to
reduce the pressure on your wrists while typing.
• Use your Desktop PC in a comfortably-lit area, and keep it away from sources of glare such as
windows and straight sunlight.
• Take regular mini-breaks from using your Desktop PC.
