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.

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),

For more detailed information, consult your doctor or a reputable book.
Using your Kensington Keyboard•in•a•Box USB
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.
