Anyone who spends long hours at a keyboard is at risk for carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and other Work Related Upper Extremity Disorders (WRUEDs). To lower your risk, lighten up.
1. Practice typing with a light touch. Post reminders where you can see them as you work.
2. Identify your "triggers." You may tend to type harder when you´re tired, hurried or under stress, for example. Pay extra attention to your keyboard force at those times.
3. Check you posture. Keep your wrists relaxed, but not bent upward or downward. Be sure your monitor is at eye level. Correct any problems that put you in an awkward posture.
4. Cut back on caffeine. "It´s just speculation," says Dr. Feuerstein, "but drinking too many caffeinated beverages could translate to increased tension that might relate to increased force when using the keyboard."
5. Listen to your body. Pain, aching, stiffness, burning, tingling, or numbing in your hands, wrists, arms or shoulders are "signals that something may not be right," says Dr. Feuerstein. See your doctor or an occupational physician, and you may avoid more serious injury later.
