AVOID!

HINT: Split Keyboards

If you find it difficult to type with a straight, neutral wrist position, you may want to try a split keyboard. Be aware, however, that improper setup or posture while using a split keyboard can increase bending in your wrists. So if you try one, set it up properly to align your forearms, wrists, and hands.

Be sure not to rest your wrists on sharp edges.

Shoulders and Elbows

Adjust your chair height or keyboard height so that your shoulders are relaxed and your elbows hang comfortably at your sides. Adjust your keyboard slope so that your wrists are straight.

Checking elbow height

Position your elbows in a zone that is near the height of your keyboard’s home row (the row that includes the letters G and H). This position allows you to relax your shoulders. If you have long upper arms, you may find you need to position your elbows a bit below the height of home row in order to provide enough space under the work surface for your knees and legs.

RIGHT!

Turn your chair to the side to help determine if your elbow height is near the height of your keyboard’s home row.

*HINT: RELAX: Remember to relax, particularly in areas where muscle tension often builds, such as your shoulders.

Eyes

Working at your computer for long periods can be a visually demanding task and may

 

cause your eyes to become irritated and fatigued. Therefore, you should give special

 

attention to vision care, including the following recommendations:

 

Resting your eyes

 

Give your eyes frequent breaks. Periodically look away from the monitor and focus

 

at a distant point. This may also be a good time to stretch, breathe deeply, and relax.
