Taking of right posture is necessary for those who sit
before computer for longer duration. The problems like pain in back, waist,
knees and legs occur, if the posture is defective. We have to work in wrong way
if the posture is wrong. It means more stress leading to increased pain in body,
hands and fingers. The best position for the body is when it gets a chance for
easy movements like sitting, bending and working. It is better to understand

| 2. The Wrong Posture |
Keep the bones and Joints straight
The hands and feet should not be in bent or crooked
position while sitting for longer duration. Do not bend the knees and keep the
waist erect. Maintain a right gap between your seat and computer, so that the
monitor is properly visible. Proper sitting reduces the stress on back bone and
other bones.
Before starting the work on computer, it is better to adjust
the chair and sit erect by keeping the shoulders straight for some time. It
will program your body to adopt the right posture.
Use Cushion or Towel
Put a cushion or folded towel on the chair for back
support. Give support to the back by pressing it backwards now and then. Change
the position to 10 degrees after some time. Raise the arms or spread them to
get additional relief.
Distance from Computer
To reduce stress on eyes and eyesight, it is better to
sit at a fixed distance from the computer. Don’t sit inside the computer. The proper distance is the visible distance. Increase
the font size to reduce stress. You can fold the legs, if it relieves.
Take a Break
If you continuously work on computer, it is advisable to
take a break of 2 minutes after every half an hour. Sit and close the eyes for
a while. It will alleviate the stress and give relief to the eyes. You can
relax the arms by moving them up and down.
