pressing your wrists against surfaces while you are typing.

Important: Computer User Health Information

In recent years, medical attention on occupational injuries has identified
normal, seemingly harmless activities as a potential cause of a wide range of
problems collectively known as Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) or Cumulative
Trauma Disorders (CTD). It is now recognized that any repetitive motion may
contribute to these health problems. As a computer user, you might also be
at risk.

By paying attention to the way you perform your work, use your computer
and phone, play sports, and work around the house, you can identify the
behaviors that may be putting you at risk. If you experience pain, swelling,
numbness, or weakness in your wrists or hands (especially during sleep),
see your physician immediately. These symptoms could mean that you are
developing a repetitive stress injury that requires prompt medical attention.
For more detailed information, consult your doctor or a reputable book.

• Computing is more comfortable and your body is more relaxed with the
keyboard placed directly in front of you.

• Adjust the keyboard and chair height so your elbows are near your body,
your forearms are parallel to the floor, and your upper arms hang naturally
at your sides.
