Understanding Ergonomics
Here are some tips for setting up a healthy work
environment.
Keyboard and Trackpad
When you use the keyboard and trackpad, your shoulders
should be relaxed. Your upper arm and forearm should form
an angle that is slightly greater than a right angle, with your
wrist and hand in roughly a straight line.

Use a light touch when typing or using the trackpad and
keep your hands and ngers relaxed. Avoid rolling your
thumbs under your palms.

Change hand positions often to avoid fatigue. Some
computer users might develop discomfort in their hands,
wrists, or arms after intensive work without breaks. If you
begin to develop chronic pain or discomfort in your hands,
wrists, or arms, consult a qualied health specialist.
External Mouse
If you use an external mouse, position the mouse at the same
height as the keyboard and within a comfortable reach.
Chair
An adjustable chair that provides rm, comfortable support
is best. Adjust the height of the chair so your thighs are
horizontal and your feet are at on the oor. The back of the
chair should support your lower back (lumbar region). Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the backrest to
t your body properly.
Hearing damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if
earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. You can
adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may
sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing.
If you experience ringing in your ears or mued speech,
stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder
the volume, the less time is required before your hearing
could be aected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect
your hearing:
 Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones
at high volume.
 Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy
surroundings.
 Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking
near you.

Carrying your MacBook Pro If you carry your MacBook Pro
