Q. How often should I change positions and take breaks during keyboarding?

Q. What is the best elbow and shoulder position while keyboarding?

Ergonomics & Computer Injury: FAQs
The elbows should form a 90 degree angle while *hanging* at your sides from the shoulders. Rarely do chairs with armrests allow this position. It is *very* important that the shoulders remain relaxed in a lowered position during keyboarding (see #6).

Q. What is the best seat height for keyboarding?

Ergonomics & Computer Injury: FAQs
It is most important that seat height should allow the upper body postures described in #7, #8, and #9. This upper body posture is most responsible for reducing risk of injury. Once this is accomplished, the feet should be flat on the floor. If the resulting seat height prevents the feet from resting flat on the floor, a foot rest is necessary. Even a phone book can serve as an inexpensive solution. This should allow the lower legs to be vertical and thighs horizontal.

Q. Can a wrist pad sitting in front of the keyboard be used during keyboarding?

Ergonomics & Computer Injury: FAQs
The neutral position described in #7 can not be achieved while in contact with most commercial wrist pads. For this reason keyboarding is best performed from a "floating" wrist position. Thus contact with wristpads is best between bouts of keying only. Frequent rest, away from the keyboard, becomes necessary with floating wrists because it tends to emphasize shoulder muscle contraction. Don't forget to use the lightest possible finger pressure during keying.

Q. Why does it seem like RSI from keyboarding has become such a big problem recently?

Ergonomics & Computer Injury: FAQs
The reasons for recent increase in computer injuries are many. One major reason is that computers are now allowing us to do more office tasks which formerly allowed us to change activity or take breaks. For example, a typewriter at one time required using a return carriage, "white out" for mistakes, breaks for paper installation, and getting up to file papers in a cabinet. Computer word-processing now eliminates these "microbreaks".
