Students - How to Do It

Very often, both in school and at home, the computer workstation will not fit you properly.

You might not be able to:
  • put your feet on the floor (1)
  • reach the keyboard (2)
  • have a level view of the computer monitor (3)
  • maintain a correct posture to type and view the computer monitor (4)

Feet aren't supported Monitor to high Monitor to low

If you need ideas for how to arrange the computer workstation to be able to truly use the postures you learned in the "Students - What to Do" section, take a look at these ideas:

   *Lower back and foot support
   *Desk height
   *Keyboard height and mouse location
