ERGONOMICS
Posture Recommendations
The body was designed to spend extraordinary
amounts of time in a neutral posture. Here are
some tips to help you maintain the best neutral
posture while at the Treadmill Desk:
1. Chest should always remain open with shoul-
ders back and the upper arms should be kept
close to the body.
2. Use an ergonomic keyboard that keeps the
hands further apart and thumbs higher than
pinkies. Position the back (furthest point from
user) of the keyboard higher than the front of
the keyboard. Wrists should not be pronated
(turned down). Wrists should also rest com-
fortably to prevent swaying.
3. The mouse should be located as close as pos-
sible to the body.
4. Using a monitor is highly recommended.
Ensure you can see the entire monitor by
shifting your eyes, but not tilting your head.
Center the display so that the top edge of
the monitor is at 0 degrees, and the bottom
display is on a -15 degree sight line from your
eyes. It is also generally recommended that
the monitor is at arm’s length from the user.
