Evaluation & Advisory Services

Setting Up Your Computer Workstation

Your chair

• Set the seat height first. Your feet should be about flat on the floor and your thighs should be about horizontal. You may need a footrest. There should be no undue pressure on the underside of your thighs.
• Arm rests are optional.
• Set the backrest height so that the small of your back is supported. Sit right back in the chair.
• Adjust the back angle to suit. The angle may differ depending on whether you are at your computer, dictating, etc. Leaning back a little may be more comfortable than sitting straight upright.
• You may need to lower the height of your chair to maintain a good posture while reading, writing, dictating, etc.

Think about your shoulders – they should be relaxed and not hunched.

Think about your elbows – they should hang loosely by your sides.
