or external mouse. Let your upper arms hang naturally at your sides. 
Take breaks during sessions with your computer. Excessive use of the 
computer may strain muscles or tendons.
Furniture and posture –
 Sit in a chair with good back support and 
armrests. Adjust the level of the chair so your feet are flat on the floor. 
A footrest may make you more comfortable. Sit in a relaxed, upright 
posture and avoid slouching forward or leaning far backward.
Viewing angle of the computer’s display –
 Use the display’s tilting 
feature to find the best position. You can reduce eye strain and muscle 
fatigue by adjusting the tilt of the display to the proper position. 
Adjust the brightness setting of the display also.
Lighting –
 Choose a location where windows and lights do not create 
glare and reflection on the display. Use indirect lighting to avoid 
bright spots on the display. You can also purchase accessories for 
your display that help reduce glare. Proper lighting adds to your 
comfort and work effectiveness.
Placement of an external display –
 When using an external display, 
set the display at a comfortable viewing distance. Make sure the 
display screen is at eye level or slightly lower when you are sitting in 
front of the monitor.
