Ergonomic Tips

• Most chairs have several levers or buttons that adjust features such as chair height and lumbar support.

• Set the height of your chair to allow support of your feet with either a footrest, or if your workstation height will allow, place them flat on the floor supporting your feet and lower legs only.

• Make sure the angle between your torso and legs is greater than 90°.

• Allow 2" – 4" of space between the waterfall front of the seat cushion and the back of your knee.

• Relax your shoulders.

• Support your forearms while keeping your elbows and wrists in a neutral position with your wrists at or below elbow height.

• Position the backrest nearly upright, or slightly reclined if you have head support.

• Fine tune the backrest to provide full support of your lumbar curve.
