What is the best position for working at a computer?
Proper Alignment
For maximum comfort and to avoid injury, adjust your computer and chair properly. The bottom of your chin should align with the middle of your monitor. When keying, ensure a 75 to 90 degree angle at elbows and a straight line from elbows to tips of fingers. Angle seat pan back slightly to the left curve of lower back into back support, or roll up a towel to protect the curve of your spine. Make sure your hips and knees are bent at 90 degrees.
