Ergonomic desk setup: Reducing strain for Singaporean professionals

Frequently Asked Questions


Position your monitor so the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. This encourages a neutral neck posture, reducing strain.
A general guideline is an arms length distance. Adjust so you can comfortably view the entire screen without leaning forward.
Place your keyboard and mouse close to your body, with your elbows at a 90-degree angle. Your wrists should be straight and supported.
A wrist rest can help maintain a neutral wrist posture, but ensure it doesnt force your wrist into an unnatural angle.
Choose a chair with good lumbar support, adjustable height, and armrests. Ensure your feet are flat on the floor or supported by a footrest.
Neck rotations, shoulder rolls, wrist extensions, and torso twists can help relieve muscle tension. Take short breaks to stand and move around.
Consider a wall-mounted monitor arm, a compact keyboard and mouse, and vertical storage solutions to maximize your workspace.
