What this test measures

This check reads your setup score from a short on-device camera scan and compares it against an evidence-based comfort range (85+). The model maps the joints involved and averages the angle so a single fidget doesn't skew your result.

How to read your result

Green means you're inside the healthy range. Amber means you're drifting and it's worth a small adjustment. Coral means the angle is past the comfort line for long enough to cause strain. Your number updates live, so you can watch a fix land in real time.

What to fix first

  • Adjust the one input driving the biggest signal — screen height, chair depth or input distance.
  • Re-run the test and watch the meter move before you change anything else.
  • Set a reminder so the corrected posture becomes the default, not the exception.

When to use WorkPose Pro

One test reads one signal. If you want this checked continuously — combined with posture, eye strain and fatigue, with live nudges and a progress history — that's what Pro does. It turns a one-off number into a habit that holds.

Monitor

  • Place the screen directly in front of you.
  • Keep the top line of the screen at or below eye level.
  • Use a comfortable viewing distance and increase text size before leaning forward.

Chair and feet

  • Use back support.
  • Keep your feet supported by the floor or a stable footrest.
  • Leave enough space under the desk to sit close to your keyboard and mouse.

Keyboard, mouse, and wrists

  • Keep shoulders relaxed and elbows close to your body.
  • Keep wrists straight and in line with your forearms.
  • Keep frequently used items within easy reach.

Movement

  • Change position during the day.
  • Take periodic walking or movement breaks.
  • Use WorkPose work sessions to keep reminders visible while you work.
