Chapter 4 Using your computer

Proper posture when using your Desktop PC When using your Desktop PC, maintaining the proper posture is necessary to prevent strain to your wrists, hands, and other joints or muscles. This section provides you with tips on avoiding physical discomfort and possible injury while using and fully enjoying your Desktop PC.

Eye level to the top of the monitor screen

Foot rest 90 angles

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 firmly supported and angled slightly backward.
