RSI Avoidance

  • Maintain proper posture
  • Chair and keyboard should be set so that the thighs and forearms are level or sloping slightly downwards away from the body
  • Take regular breaks from the workstation (about once every hour)
  • Support wrists at a neutral level horizontal to the ground
  • Avoid direct pressure on the wrist
  • Wrists should be straight and level and not bent at the side
  • Use a light touch when striking the keyboard
  • Hold the mouse lightly - do not grip it hard or squeeze it
