Computer Workstation Self-Evaluation
Are your feet supported by the floor or by a footrest when seated?   Recommended Solutions   Adjust the seat height so your feet can touch the floor with your knees equal to or slightly lower than your hips.   If your chair is elevated for your keyboard or desk, use a footrest to support your feet.   Is there a small space (about 1") between the front edge of the chair and the back of your knee?   Recommended Solutions   Adjust the seat depth if possible.   If the seat does not adjust and is too long, use a rolled up towel or lumbar cushion to push you forward in the seat.   If the seat is short, avoid using cushions or towels. They will push you forward and make it shorter.   Try to adjust the backrest tilt to increase space.   Are the armrests set so your shoulders are relaxed while your arms are supported?   Recommended Solutions   Adjust the armrest height if possible.   If available, adjust the armrest width to support your arms close to your body.   If the armrest are too high and do not adjust, consider removing them.   If the armrest are too low, pad them to make them higher.   If your armrest get in teh way, consider removing them.   << Prev Next >>
