Overall Score

45/100

Summary

Your setup has two clear wins — good screen distance and solid chair height — but a low monitor and a stretched-out mouse position are creating sustained neck and shoulder load throughout the day. Three targeted fixes will resolve most of the strain.

Priority Recommendations

  1. 1.Raise your monitor 10–15 cm so the top third of the screen is level with your eyes. A monitor stand, laptop riser, or a stack of books works immediately.
  2. 2.Move your mouse next to the keyboard so your arm rests close to your body — no more reaching to the right. Your shoulder will feel the difference within one day.
  3. 3.Move your keyboard and mouse 5–8 cm closer to the screen edge so you can sit all the way back in the chair without leaning forward.

Left Profile

40/100

The left profile reveals a forward trunk lean and downward neck angle, both driven by a monitor that sits below ideal eye height. Chair and screen distance are well-set.

✗
Torso FlexionNo

Torso is leaning approximately 15–18° forward from vertical. The lower back is losing its natural curve as the upper body reaches toward the screen.

Fix: Slide the keyboard and mouse 5–8 cm closer so you can sit fully back against the chair backrest. The chair support, not forward lean, should be holding your trunk upright.
✗
Neck FlexionNo

Neck is flexed approximately 20–25° downward. Eye level is hitting the middle-lower third of the screen instead of the top third, causing the head to tip forward and down.

Fix: Raise the monitor so the top bezel is roughly at eye height when you sit upright. A $15–25 monitor stand or a couple of thick books achieves this immediately — no new hardware required.
✓
Chair / HipsYes

Hips and knees are both near 90°–95°. The seat depth looks appropriate — thighs are supported without pressing the back of the knees against the seat edge.

✗
ForearmsNo

Forearms are angled slightly downward toward the keyboard — roughly 10–15° below horizontal. This indicates the keyboard is slightly too low relative to seated elbow height.

Fix: Raise the chair 2–3 cm (or use a thinner keyboard) so your forearms rest parallel to the desk surface. If raising the chair makes your feet float, add a footrest.
✓
DistanceYes

Monitor is approximately 60–65 cm from your eyes — comfortably within the ideal 50–70 cm range. No adjustment needed.

Right Profile

40/100

The right profile confirms the same forward lean and downward neck angle seen from the left, with good consistency in chair positioning. The right arm is visibly reaching outward toward the mouse.

✗
Torso FlexionNo

Forward lean of approximately 15° is confirmed from the right side. The deviation is consistent across both profiles — this is a setup issue, not a momentary posture lapse.

Fix: Once the keyboard is moved closer (see Left Profile fix), this lean should resolve naturally. Keep the chair backrest in a slight recline (100–105°) to encourage sitting back.
✗
Neck FlexionNo

Neck flexion of ~20° confirmed from the right side. Eye level is clearly below the top third of the screen. The head-forward position also shifts load from the neck onto the upper trapezius.

Fix: Raise the monitor (same fix as Left Profile). With the screen higher, the neck returns to near-neutral and the upper-back tension typically decreases within a few days.
✓
Chair / HipsYes

Hip and knee angles are consistent with the left profile — both close to 90°–100°. No adjustment needed.

✗
ForearmsNo

Right forearm shows the same slight downward angle as the left. Right elbow is also visibly drifting outward to reach the mouse, adding lateral shoulder load.

Fix: Move the mouse directly beside the keyboard and close to the body. This eliminates the outward reach and lets the right shoulder relax.
✓
DistanceYes

Screen distance looks consistent at approximately 60–65 cm from the right side as well. Good.

Back View (Same Height)

50/100

The back view confirms that the monitor is well-centered with your body — no rotational strain detected. The mouse position is the clear problem: the right arm is extended noticeably further than shoulder width to reach it.

✓
Screen CenterYes

Your body midline is aligned with the center of the primary screen. No trunk rotation or shoulder asymmetry from screen position.

✗
Mouse DistanceNo

The mouse is positioned approximately 15–20 cm to the right of the keyboard — well beyond shoulder width. The right arm is visibly extended and the right shoulder is slightly elevated to maintain the reach.

Fix: Place the mouse immediately to the right of the keyboard, no further than a hand-width from the spacebar. If desk space is tight, a compact keyboard without a numpad is an easy fix that moves the mouse significantly closer.

Back View (Above Head)

50/100

The overhead angle gives a clear top-down view of the full desk layout. Screen centering is confirmed. The mouse distance issue is very evident from this angle — the right arm forms a clear outward angle to reach it.

✓
Screen CenterYes

Top-down view confirms the monitor is directly in front of the seated midline. Keyboard is also centered. Good layout.

✗
Mouse DistanceNo

Overhead angle clearly shows the mouse is positioned significantly to the right. The right elbow is bent outward rather than resting near the torso, which is the root cause of the right-shoulder strain.

Fix: Move the mouse immediately next to the keyboard. The overhead photo makes the fix visually obvious — the mouse should be within the rectangle of your shoulder width.

Assessment Limitations

  • •Lighting in the back-view photos made the exact wrist angle difficult to confirm — a clearer photo would sharpen the forearm assessment.
  • •Footrest contact could not be confirmed from the provided angles.
