To promote proper wrist and finger postures, consider the following:
Keep your wrists straight while typing and while using a mouse or trackball.

Type with your hands and wrists floating above the keyboard, so that you can use your whole arm to reach for distant keys instead of stretching your fingers.mfortable environment.
To minimise neck bending and twisting, consider the following:
Center your monitor in front of you. Consider placing your documents directly in front of you and the monitor slightly to the side, if you refer to your documents more frequently than your monitor.Consider using a document holder to position your documents near eye level.
