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.

Using your Kensington Comfort Type Slim Keyboard

Many factors go into creating a comfortable workspace, including proper placement and adjustment of furniture and equipment, lighting, and other environmental considerations.

• 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.

• Adjust the keyboard slope so that your wrists are in a natural, straight position while typing.

• Try typing with your hands and wrists floating above the keyboard. Avoid pressing your wrists against surfaces while you are typing.
• Keep your fingers relaxed. Do not strike the keys with excessive force.
• Do not overextend fingers or bend your wrists unnaturally to hit hard-to-reach keys. Instead, move your whole arm.

DON'T DO DON'T

Your hands and wrists should be in a neutral position. Your wrist should not bend too much to one side or the other.

DON'T DO DON'T

You may be more comfortable typing with your wrists floating slightly above the keyboard.
