30. Typing ergonomics
- is the science of finding an ideal fit between people and the
workthey do. Applied to typing, it focuses on preventing common
workplace injuries such asstrains, stress and damage of joints
caused by typing. The ergonomics of typing looksat the correct
set up of desk equipment as well as posture and how to correctly
type at adesk. The goal of typing ergonomics is to reduce the
strain, stress and wear and tear ofyour joints as you type.

31. The Ideal Typing Posture According to Cornwell University and theUniversity of British
Columbia, the ideal typingposture is such that the keyboard is below yourelbow height when
seated, with your wristsstraight and not planted on the surface of thedesk. Here are the
key steps to achieve the mostergonomic and comfortable typing position:
 Place keyboard just below elbow level
 Elbows should be in an open angle (90 –110 degrees). This relaxes your forearmsand shoulders.
 Keyboard should be flat on the desk, orsloping gently away from you (negative tilt).
 A keyboard tray or ergonomic keyboard can be used to achieve a negative tilt in your keyboard.
 Keep your wrists straight, neither flexed upwards or downwards
 Resist resting your wrists on the desk, which putspressure on your tendons and cuts off blood
circulation
 Keep both feet flat on the floor. Use a foot stool ifneeded.
 If you use a wrist pad, push it flush against the keyboard, and only use it to support your palms
(not wrists) when resting
