Safety and Comfort
Forearms, Wrists, and Hands
Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands aligned in a straight, neutral position,
whether you are working at a desk or table, or sitting on a couch or bed. Avoid
bending or angling your wrists while typing or using a pointing device.
Don't Anchor Your Wrists
When typing, do not anchor or rest your wrists on your work surface, your thighs,
or a palm rest (sometimes called a wrist rest). Resting your palms while typing may
be harmful because it can cause you to bend your wrists back and can apply
pressure to the undersides of your wrists. A palm rest is designed to provide
support during pauses, when you are not typing.
