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:
• Stand, stretch, and move around several times every hour.
• Switch hands while performing tasks. Use shortcut keys to move efficiently
and avoid repetitive, awkward movements.
• Type gently and lightly.
• Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides. Adjust the
keyboard so that you don’t have to stretch to reach it.
• 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, consult a qualified medical professional.
