•

Avoid focusing your eyes on your screen for long 

periods of time. Every 10 or 15 minutes, look 

around the room, and try to focus on distant 

objects. 

•

Where feasible, keep your head vertical while 

looking at the screen. If you use an external 

keyboard, raise the notebook so the top of its 

screen is no higher than eye level.

Setting up your computer desk and chair

When you are setting up your computer desk and 

chair, make sure that the desk is the appropriate 

height and the chair helps you maintain good posture.

•

Select a flat surface for your computer desk.

•

Adjust the height of the computer desk so your 

hands and arms are positioned parallel to the 

floor when you use the keyboard and touchpad. 

If the desk is not adjustable or is too tall, consider 

using an adjustable chair to control your arm’s 

height above the keyboard.

•

Use an adjustable chair that is comfortable, 

distributes your weight evenly, and keeps your 

body relaxed.

•

Position your chair so the keyboard is at or 

slightly below the level of your elbow. This 

position lets your shoulders relax while you type.

•

Adjust the chair height, adjust the forward tilt of 

the seat, or use a footrest to distribute your 

weight evenly on the chair and relieve pressure 

on the back of your thighs.

•

Adjust the back of the chair so it supports the 

lower curve of your spine. You can use a pillow 

or cushion to provide extra back support.

Sitting at your notebook

•

Avoid bending, arching, or angling your wrists. 

Make sure that they are in a relaxed position 

when you type.

•

Do not slouch forward or lean far back. Sit with 

your back straight so your knees, hips, and 

elbows form right angles when you work.

•

Take breaks to stand and stretch your legs.

•

Avoid twisting your torso or neck.
