A desk-ergonomics checklist should address support, task layout, screen visibility, and adjustability. It is a practical observation aid, not a guarantee against pain or a demand to hold one posture all day.

A worked situation: Main display directly ahead
Fictional example. A worker centers the main screen and supports her forearms. She keeps a note about whether the setup allows comfortable changes, rather than trying to maintain a rigid ideal position.
Check the setup as a whole task
Work through screen visibility, reachable input devices, forearm support, foot support, and available adjustment together. A single chair measurement does not describe the whole workstation. If a change improves access, record that practical result without turning it into a clinical conclusion. The dimension calculator serves a separate measurement task; the checklist reviews the working arrangement.
