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.
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 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.
