How can I avoid injury when using the keyboard

Keyboard Posture

Slant and tilt the keyboard away from you. This is referred to as reverse tilting. Lean comfortably on your chair´s backrest. Keep your wrist straight with arms falling downward and parallel to the floor. The shoulders must be relaxed. Adjust your chair if needed. Rest your hands lightly on the keyboards. Place an arm/wrist rest beside the keyboard for a more comfortable hand position. Use a mouse paw to help position your hand at the level of the mouse, relieving strain off your wrist. Rest your feet firmly on the floor. Adjust your chair or use a footrest; it can also help promote proper spine posture.
