It is necessary to take care of ergonomic aspects while arranging the digital devices for use at home or office and also know about its relevance and importance, in reducing the stress and strain on the physical body thereby avoiding injuries due to repeated usage.

    •  

      • Sit so your head and neck are upright and inline with your torso, not bent down or tilted back.

      • Position your computer display so the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. This will allow you to view the screen without bending your neck.

      • Hold your device directly, avoid viewing your screen with your head turned, bent or your back twisted.

      • Keep your elbows comfortably close to your body.

      • Use a chair that provides support for your lower back and has a cushioned seat with a contoured front edge.

      • Keep your mouse close to your keyboard so you don't have to reach for it.

      • Adjust the position of your display to prevent reflections of overhead and outdoor lighting appearing on your screen.

      • Put your monitor close enough to your eyes so you can comfortably read text on the screen without leaning forward.

      • For relaxing your eyes when looking at device screens follow 20-20-20 rule, which is for every 20 minutes spent looking at screen, take 20 second break, and look at something that is 20 feet away.
