Workstation Ergonomics
Assessment
A comprehensive checklist for occupational therapists to evaluate patient workstations and guide home programs.
Is your workstation putting you at risk?
Poor workstation ergonomics is one of the leading causes of repetitive strain injuries, neck and back pain, and hand and wrist conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. At OTFocus, our occupational therapists and hand therapists in Crescent City, CA use evidence-based ergonomic assessment to help patients work comfortably and safely — whether at an office desk, home workstation, or job site.
Use the free interactive checklist below to assess your setup across seven key areas: seating, desk height, monitor position, keyboard and mouse use, head and neck posture, lighting, and movement habits. When you’re done, generate a personalised summary of recommendations you can bring to your next appointment or use as a home program guide.
Assessment Report
Frequently asked questions
What is a workstation ergonomics assessment?
A workstation ergonomics assessment is a structured evaluation of how a person’s work environment — including their chair, desk, monitor, keyboard, and mouse — fits their body. The goal is to identify positions or equipment that may cause strain, discomfort, or injury over time, and to recommend adjustments that support neutral posture and safe movement.
Who should get an ergonomics assessment?
Anyone who spends significant time at a computer workstation can benefit. It is especially important for people experiencing wrist, hand, neck, shoulder, or back pain; those returning to work after an injury or surgery; people diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, or other repetitive strain conditions; and anyone setting up a new home office.
How is this different from a professional OT assessment?
This tool is a helpful self-screening checklist, but it is not a substitute for a hands-on evaluation by a licensed occupational therapist. A professional assessment includes direct observation, functional movement analysis, and tailored recommendations based on your medical history and specific diagnosis. If you score below 60% or have unresolved pain, we recommend booking an appointment.
