Rounded shoulders check
Spot the inward shoulder roll that closes off your chest. 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 roll from a short on-device camera scan and compares it against an evidence-based comfort range (< 12 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 rounded shoulders happen at a desk
Rounded shoulders are often less about forgetting to pull your shoulders back and more about the work setup pulling your arms forward. A keyboard that is too far away, a mouse parked to the side, or a laptop-only setup can make shoulder rounding the easiest position to repeat.
What to change first
- Bring the keyboard and mouse close enough that your elbows can stay near your body.
- Keep your main screen directly in front of you so your shoulders do not rotate toward one side.
- Use breaks and upper-back resets instead of trying to hold a rigid shoulders-back pose all day.
How WorkPose helps
Run the scan, look at which visible shoulder and reach signals show up, then change one desk variable and scan again. The export card gives the result a funny label, while the page keeps the guidance practical and sourced.
Medical boundary
WorkPose gives ergonomic coaching only. If shoulder pain is persistent, radiating, injury-related, or paired with numbness, tingling, or weakness, speak with a qualified professional.
