Understanding Ergonomics
Here are some tips for setting up a healthy work
environment.
Keyboard and Trackpad
When you use the keyboard and trackpad, your shoulders
should be relaxed. Your upper arm and forearm should form
an angle that is slightly greater than a right angle, with your
wrist and hand in roughly a straight line.
This
Use a light touch when typing or using the trackpad and
keep your hands and ngers relaxed. Avoid rolling your
thumbs under your palms.
This
Change hand positions often to avoid fatigue. Some
computer users might develop discomfort in their hands,
wrists, or arms after intensive work without breaks. If you
begin to develop chronic pain or discomfort in your hands,
wrists, or arms, consult a qualied health specialist.
External Mouse
If you use an external mouse, position the mouse at the same
height as the keyboard and within a comfortable reach.
Chair
An adjustable chair that provides rm, comfortable support
is best. Adjust the height of the chair so your thighs are
horizontal and your feet are at on the oor. The back of the
chair should support your lower back (lumbar region). Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the backrest to
t your body properly.
