Seating and posture

Maintain a comfortable working posture when using your PC where your
body joints are naturally aligned to reduce stress on different parts of your
body. Consider the following:
Foot rest
■
Keep hands, wrists, and forearms straight, in-line and roughly parallel to
the floor.
■
Keep head level, or bent slightly forward, forward facing, and balanced.
Generally the head is in-line with the torso.
■
Keep shoulders relaxed and let upper arms hang normally at the side of
the body.
■
Keep elbows in close to the body and bent.
■
Keep feet fully supported by floor or foot rest.
■
Keep back fully supported with appropriate lumbar support when sitting
vertical or leaning back slightly.
■
Keep thighs and hips supported by a well-padded seat cushion and
generally parallel to the floor.
■
Keep knees about the same height as the hips with the feet slightly
forward.
