1-8 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.
