The perfect position: 90
When typing at your computer, finding
the perfect sitting position is more complicated than you might think.
Slouching in your chair just won't cut it! Follow these basic rules to
ensure a healthy back.
First of all, your torso should form a 90°
angle with your legs, with your back resting lightly on the backrest. Your
feet should rest so that your knee and ankle joints are also at a 90°
angle. If your feet are not on the floor, consider using a
footrest.
Position your keyboard so that your elbows are at a 90°
angle when you are typing. Also, your screen should be at eye level to
help keep your neck in a neutral position.
