    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.
