I’ve found success with the following:
- Proper desk height for standing and sitting to ensure arms are at 90* angle.
- Extended height monitor arms to ensure screens are up at eye level. This has been great for my posture.
- Split keyboard (kinesis) to ensure my shoulders are in a neutral, not rolled inwards position and my wrist angle is also neutral. I broke my collarbone when younger, and it’s very easy for me to not keep my shoulders neutral.
- Extended palm pad for keyboard to keep my wrists neutral. With larger hands my palms are pretty far from the keyboard, which makes it easy to have my wrists lower than my hands. I have the V3 attachment to the kinesis keyboard.
- Regular exercise and strength training.
- Avoiding working on my laptop as much as possible. The angle and ergonomics are just not nearly as good as my desktop setup.
- tracer4201 7y ago+1 on regular exercise and strength training. I think of my desk ergonomics as one part of the larger story on my general health. Exercise - both cardio and weight training or some resistance is crucial, as is healthy eating. I’m kind of going off topic, but one other thing I’ve also done is reduce my coffee intake and replace coffee with plain water. It’s certainly helped my ability to think on my feet and avoid “brain fog” where I’m trying to think of a concept, a name, or just quickly answer or recommend something on my feet.
