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.
