10 Ergonomic Tips for Sitting at the Computer
 

1. Five-legged base on casters for stability
2. The chair is on a carpet or chair mat
3. A swivel chair makes multiple tasks easy
4. Adjustable height
5. Does the chair have a backrest adjustment? Your lower back should be flush against the back of the chair. If you don’t have enough support for your lower back you can buy lumbar cushions.
6. Place the computer monitor 28 inches from your body, to reduce your exposure to electromagnetic fields.
7. Adjust the resolutions to your monitor to be easier on your eyes. Maybe if the screen is darker it feels better. Flat-panel monitors have less flicker
8. Don’t raise the back of your keyboard so that you tilt your wrists. Consider an adjustable keyboard tray. You want your forearms to be parallel to (level with) the ground.
9. Consider a mouse with a scrolling wheel in the middle of it, to save dragging the mouse around with your hand.
10. Take your eyes from the screen every ten minutes or so and look to the distance.
