Keyboard Usage Tips
Some studies suggest that long periods of repetitive motion,
improper workstation set-up, or incorrect body position may
be linked to serious injury. If you experience any discomfort in
your hands, wrists, arms, neck or back (such as pain, numb-
ness, weakness), consult a qualified health professional.
To reduce the risks of such injuries, follow these precautions:
„ Take breaks frequently. Experts suggest taking at least
one 5-10 minute break every hour.
„ Avoid prolonged, repetitive tasks. Vary your tasks
throughout the day.
„ Assess your workstation and position frequently used
items closest to you.
„ Maintain proper shoulder, elbow and wrist alignment.
Shoulders should be relaxed with elbows at your side and
wrists should be kept straight.
„ Avoid using wrist or palm rests while typing.
