Placement of the Keyboard, Mouse, and Other Input Devices

The keyboard, mouse, and other input devices, such as a numeric keypad, should be positioned
so that your arms and hands are in a relaxed, comfortable, and natural position.

• Select a work surface that is large enough to hold the computer equipment and any additional
items required for your work.

• Position the keyboard directly in front of you. This makes it possible to type with your
shoulders relaxed and your upper arms hanging freely at your sides.

• Position the mouse at the same level as the keyboard.

NOTE: If you are using a portable computer installed in a convenience base, it may be more com­fortable to use an external keyboard, external mouse, or other input device.

Furniture and Posture

Adjust the furniture to meet your needs for comfort. If the workstation table is adjustable, move it
to the proper height. If it is not adjustable, then arrange the chair to suit your needs.

• Adjust the height of the chair and/or work surface so your forearms are parallel with the floor
and your wrists are straight.

• You should be able to maintain your proper arm position and place your feet flat on the floor.
Avoid pressure along the underside of your thigh near the knee and the back side of your
lower leg.

• Position the backrest and yourself so that your lower back is supported comfortably while you
sit at your workstation.

• Adopt a relaxed, upright working posture. Avoid slouching forward or leaning far backward.

• Place frequently used work materials within easy reach.

Hand and Arm Position and Motion

You can prevent straining of your arms, wrists, and hands by using natural, comfortable motions
while working at the computer. Refer to the illustrations in this section for examples of correct and
incorrect positions of arms, wrist, and hands.

Follow these guidelines when working at the computer:

• When typing, your forearms and wrist should be level and parallel to the floor.

• Keep your elbows in a relaxed position near your body. Your elbows may lightly touch your
sides, but don’t press them tightly against your body.

• When using a keyboard, mouse, or other input devices, keep your wrists in a natural, straight
position. Avoid bending, arching, or angling your wrist.

• If you use a palm rest, use it only briefly for resting. Do not use a palm rest, or rest your hands
on the table, while you are typing.

• Pay particular attention to keeping your thumbs and fingers in a relaxed, natural positions.

• Use the minimum amount of force that is needed to push down the keys. Avoid banging on the
keys using more force than is required.

• Hold the mouse with a relaxed hand. Do not grip the mouse tightly.

• Use your whole arm to move the mouse
