Low back pain, wrist & arm pain and neck pain are among the top 10 complaints from workers who sit at a desk for prolonged periods of time. With the proper workstation and techniques, these problems can easily be avoided. Here are several tips by AWE Corporate Interiors in Phoenix.
- Adjust the height of your chair so that your feet are resting firmly on the floor.
- The depth of your seat should allow the back of your knees to extend beyond the edge of your seat and your thighs should be parallel to the floor.
- Your forearms should be at least 90-100% to your upper arm and your wrists should not be angled up or down.
- Set the height of your work surface so that you will not be slumping or straining forward. Arrange commonly used items so that they are within arms reach.
- The top one-third of your computer screen should be at or just below eye-level. The distance between your eyes and the monitor should be 18" or more.
