Keyboard use

Forceful pressing on the keys can lead to muscle fatigue. A computer user should not hold a pen while keying, or hold a telephone between the ear and shoulder. Watch for resting positions or micropauses that do not allow complete relaxation of the hand and forearm. One common posture error is continuing to hold the hands up after typing has ceased.
