What is the Neutral Neck Position?

Neutral Neck Position:

• When looking at your work, keep your neck in a neutral or aligned position. Position the monitor directly in front of you to avoid turning your neck to the side.
• Position the monitor so that you do not have to bend your neck up or down to see the screen. The top of the screen should be approximately 2-3" below seated eye level.
• Place the monitor at least 20 to 30 inches away from you (slightly more than an arm’s length). Adjust as needed for your visual comfort.
• If you must use a telephone simultaneously with the computer, use a headset. Never try to hold the handset between your shoulder and ear. If you chose to use a telephone handset, position the telephone close to you to avoid over-reaching.
