Herearesometipsforsettingupahealthyworkenvironment.
Keyboard and Trackpad
Whenyouusethekeyboardandtrackpad,yourshouldersshouldberelaxed.Your
upperarmandforearmshouldformananglethatisslightlygreaterthanarightangle,
withyourwristandhandinroughlyastraightline.

76 Chapter 5 Last, but Not Least
Usealighttouchwhentypingorusingthetrackpadandkeepyourhandsandngers
relaxed.Avoidrollingyourthumbsunderyourpalms.
Not this
This
Changehandpositionsoftentoavoidfatigue.Somecomputerusersmightdevelop
discomfortintheirhands,wrists,orarmsafterintensiveworkwithoutbreaks.Ifyou
begintodevelopchronicpainordiscomfortinyourhands,wrists,orarms,consulta
qualiedhealthspecialist.
External Mouse
Ifyouuseanexternalmouse,positionthemouseatthesameheightasthekeyboard
andwithincomfortablereach.
Chair
Anadjustablechairthatprovidesrm,comfortablesupportisbest.Adjusttheheight
ofthechairsoyourthighsarehorizontalandyourfeetareatontheoor.Thebackof
thechairshouldsupportyourlowerback(lumbarregion).Followthemanufacturer’s
instructionsforadjustingthebackresttotyourbodyproperly.
77Chapter 5 Last, but Not Least
Youmighthavetoraiseyourchairsothatyourforearmsandhandsareattheproper
angletothekeyboard.Ifthismakesitimpossibletorestyourfeetatontheoor,you
canuseafootrestwithadjustableheightandtilttomakeupforanygapbetweenthe
oorandyourfeet.Oryoucanlowerthedesktoptoeliminatetheneedforafootrest.
Anotheroptionistouseadeskwithakeyboardtraythat’slowerthantheregular
worksurface.
Built-in Display
Adjusttheangleofthedisplaytooptimizeviewinginyourenvironment.Donotforce
thedisplayifyoumeetresistance.Thedisplayisnotmeanttoopenpast130degrees.
Youcanadjustthebrightnessofthescreenwhenyoutakethecomputerfromone
worklocationtoanother,orifthelightinginyourworkareachanges.
