Keying on a computer keyboard has been
associated with causing musculoskeletal disorders because of the improper placement of the
keyboard in the workstation. When a keyboard is placed on a desk or other surface
which is not at the correct height, or on a keyboard tray which is not ergonomically
designed, this causes the wrist to bend outward (A) and upward (B) which increase the risk
of injuries while keying on the keyboard. EOHSS recommends using height adjustable
keyboard trays with a mouse platform rather than investing in the alternative keyboards.
