How do armrests affect ergonomics in an ergonomic chair?

Armrests reduce load on the upper trapezius muscles, cervical spine, and shoulders by supporting forearm weight (approximately 5–8 lbs per arm). They should be set so the elbows rest naturally when shoulders are fully relaxed. Armrests set too high force shoulders upward; too low encourages a slumped posture.
