Appropriate position in front of computer
Many people work in front of the computer with the wrong posture position, that can lead to back problem, And there is some factor that can cause back problem while working in the computer :
- The chair of your computer
- The sitting position while working with the computer
But now, we are telling some tips how to have good sitting position:
- Seat height
Your seat should be high enough so that your arms are horizontal to your key board. your shoulders should be relaxed and your wrists straight (beware the height of your arm rests ).
- Legs & feet
There should be a gap of about three fingers between the edge of the seat and back of your knees. Your hips should be slightly higher than your knees and your knees and your lower legs bent not less than 90°.your feet should be flat 90°.Your feet should be flat on the floor, or use some foot rest.
- Keyboard & mouse
Position your keyboard so that you can comfortably rest your wrists on the edge of the desk .your mouse should be close to you shouldn’t have to reach to use it.
- Screen position
The screen should be positioned straight ahead &close enough that you can read the screen comfortably without having to lean forward. Most importantly the screen should be raised so that the top of the screen should be raised so that the top of the screen is level or just below your eye level. If your screen is too low or too high, this will affect the neutral position of your neck and could leak to neck pain / stiffness. You can use a purpose made riser to raise the screen to the desire level.
