Ergonomics & Flexibility
Basic setup
Poor posture, lack of proper equipment and incorrect
ergonomic information are all contributing factors
to an improper computer setup. And while laptops
allow exibility to work from a variety of locations,
working on a laptop can put a user in some awkward
postures. You can see, as illustrated in gure 1 below,
that working at a computer can cause a lot of distress
in a number of di erent parts of the body. With that in
mind here are some key things to consider:
When working on a laptop computer, you
should always try and follow the guidelines for
ergonomically setting up a computer workstation.
Laptop computers are not designed for
long-term use so it is important to take
frequent breaks.
The laptop should be positioned so that the hands
and wrists are straight with the elbows
at one's sides.
The screen should be angled so it can be viewed
with the least neck deviation and with the least
amount of glare.
Torso to thigh angle should be at 90 degrees
or greater with your eet at on the oor.
Do not cross your knees or ankles.
Note: while this would work if you could have an
external keyboard for the laptop so you could set
it up in the proper ergonomic position, the user is
most likely not going to be able to sit like this using
just a laptop or even writing.

Ergonomic desk height
Ideal work surface height is dependent upon your
height, the tasks you perform, and the equipment and
tools you use. Your most comfortable working height is
at or around elbow height.
Writing desk
If ne visual attention is needed, the surface
should be higher (e.g. graphic, copy editing of ne
type). Most people prefer a slightly higher surface for
writing.

Generally, computer users performing intensive word
processing prefer lower desks – sometimes below
elbow height, and those performing computer
