• Keep the wrists straight and aligned with the forearms.
• Place the working object so that it can be seen at viewing angle of 10? to 30? below the line of sight.

• Keep shoulders low and relaxed.
• Keep elbows tucked in.
• Tuck chin in and do not bend forward when looking down and forward.
• Change positions frequently but remain within recommended ranges.
• Alternate crossed legs.
• Avoid bending to the side.
• Avoid bending forward.
• Do not slouch.
• Do not sit for more than 50 minutes at a time.
