Ergonomics and Computer Use

Ergonomics and Computer Use

When you are using computer, the first thing to remember is to straighten your upper back. After that straighten out your lumbar spine, so you have a little lordosis on your lower back. Then the next thing is to put your knee in 90 degree flexion angle, so that your ankle is on the same line with your knee down to the floor.  Your foot should be relaxed on the floor. You should also lower or higher your chair, so that your hip is a little bit higher than your knee.

The humerus should be in downward position. Put your elbow in 90 degree flexion angle, so that your wrist is laying relaxed on the table.

The computer screen should be located a little bit higher than your shoulder, so that you are looking at the computer screen a little bit downward.

Lighting should be posited so that there doesn't come any reflection to your computer screen.

Remember also have breaks if you are working long days at computer.  Also remember to change your mouse hand for avoiding too much stress on your other hand.
