-
Relax your upper
back, and neck and let go of your shoulders.
-
Keep your shoulder
blades free. Set backrest below the shoulder blades and angle it forward
so you can use the top of the backrest as a ³shelf² upon which you rest
your upper back.
-
Eliminate
Extension. When keyboarding keep your elbows back and arms close to your
torso. When not keyboarding completely rest your arms on the armrests.
-
Keep your wrists
straight. Type as close to your lap as possible and float your hands over
your keyboard keeping your wrists straight.
-
Maintain Pelvic
Stability. This is critical for reduction of injury-causing static muscle
tension in the upper back, neck and shoulders. (see adjustment options
below)
-
Set Seat Height so
your hip joint is a bit higher than your knee joint. Seat pressure should
mainly be under your sitting bones and not under your thighs.
-
Sit all the way
back on the seat so your back is supported by the back rest.
