To allow the following conditions
Chair
1. Feet are flat on the floor.
2. Legs are vertical and form a right angle to the floor.
3. Your thighs are horizontal, and they are not bearing weight. Keep the backs
of your knees away from the seat so you do not compress the area behind
them, which could restrict the blood flow.
4. Your upper body is erect and your lower back is supported with a backrest.
Keyboard and
Mouse
5. Your wrists are straight and do not flex more than 15 degrees. They are
supported and do not rest on sharp edges. If you use a mouse, rest your
hand on the mouse so your wrist is not on the work surface. Operate the
mouse close to your body's centerline.
6. Upper arms are straight down at your sides, and elbows are close to your
sides and support your arm weight. Forearms are at a 70- to 90-degree
angle.
