Case Study
National Defense University Case StudyERGO Info
Palm supports (unfortunately referred to by many as “wrist rests”) should be exclusively used to rest palms between periods of typing. If you rest your wrists on these supports, particularly while typing, you increase your risk for injury.
A key component of an ergonomic workstation, a well-designed articulating keyboard system works in conjunction with a monitor arm and task chair to promote healthy, comfortable posture. Humanscale keyboard supports literally bring the work to you, allowing you to sit back in your chair while providing serious protection from carpal tunnel syndrome, neck and back pain, and other musculoskeletal issues.
