2FINDING YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Shoulders and Elbows

Adjust your chair height or keyboard height so that your shoulders are relaxed and your elbows hang comfortably at your sides.

Adjust your keyboard slope so that your wrists are straight.

Checking Elbow Height

Position your elbows in a zone that is near the height of your keyboard’s home row (the row that includes the letters G and H).This position allows you to relax your shoulders. If you have long upper arms, you may find you need to position your elbows a bit below the height of home row in order to provide enough space under the work surface for your knees and legs.

RIGHT

Turn your chair to the side to help determine if your elbow height is near the height of your keyboard’s home row.

TIP

Relax

Remember to relax, particularly in areas

where muscle tension often builds, such as

your shoulders.
