I was reminded about sitting with a correct posture. Sharing with you as well:
To sit with good posture at a computer, ensure your feet are flat on the floor, knees are at a 90-degree angle, and monitor is at eye level. Keep your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and wrists neutral. Take breaks and move around regularly to prevent stiffness and strain.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Chair Height and Foot Placement:
- Adjust the chair so your feet are flat on the floor, and your knees are at a 90-degree angle or slightly lower than your hips. Consider using a footrest if needed.
- Back Support:
- Ensure your back is supported by the chair, and consider using a lumbar pillow to maintain the natural curve of your spine.
Monitor Placement:
Position the monitor directly in front of you, at eye level or slightly below. This prevents neck strain and eye strain.
Keyboard and Mouse:
Place the keyboard and mouse close enough that you can reach them without overextending your arms.
Arm and Elbow Position:
Keep your elbows at a 90-degree angle and close to your body.
Shoulder and Neck:
Keep your shoulders relaxed and your neck straight. Avoid slouching or protruding your head forward.
Wrist Position:
Keep your wrists straight and neutral while typing and using the mouse.
Breaks and Movement:
Take short breaks every 30-60 minutes to get up and move around, stretch, or change your sitting position.
