Comfortable Typing
Research suggests that physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons, and
muscles may be related to repetitive motion, an improperly set up work area,
incorrect body posture, and poor work habits.
To reduce the risk of injury, follow these precautions:
È
Stand, stretch, and move around several times every hour.
È
Every once in a while, work on a different task with your hands. Avoid repetitious motions.
Use shortcut keys to move efficiently and avoid repetitive, awkward movement.
È
Type gently and lightly.
È
Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides. Adjust the keyboard so that
you don’t have to stretch to reach it.
È
Adjust your position so that you don’t have to bend your wrists to type; avoid placing
your wrists on a sharp edge.
If you feel discomfort or numbness in your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck
or back while typing, get the advice of a qualified medical professional.
