Mouse shoulder check
Detect the hiked, reaching shoulder from a far-set mouse. Works with your phone camera, laptop camera, or webcam. It runs entirely in your browser and the camera feed never leaves your device.
Prop your phone at desk height for front checks, or turn it sideways for side-view posture scans. Same test, same URL, no app.
Open phone linkWhat this test measures
This check reads your shoulder lift from a short on-device camera scan and compares it against an evidence-based comfort range (< 8 deg). 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.
Why the mouse is often not the whole problem
A vertical mouse can help some people, but Reddit-style mouse shoulder complaints often describe the whole arm chain: desk height, arm support, mouse distance, keyboard width, shoulder reach, and wrist angle. The scan keeps the focus on what is visible and changeable.
Quick setup checks
- Move the mouse closer before buying another device.
- Keep the keyboard and mouse on the same surface when possible.
- Let the upper arm hang closer to vertical instead of reaching forward all day.
- Check whether armrests block you from getting close enough to the desk.
How WorkPose helps
Use the result as an experiment. Move the mouse closer, lower the reach, or change keyboard width, then rescan. The goal is not to diagnose a shoulder condition; it is to catch the visible desk pattern that keeps repeating.
Medical boundary
WorkPose is not medical care. Persistent pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, radiating pain, or symptoms that worsen with work should be discussed with a qualified professional.
