Wow this was a great video, thanks for the all info in this one. I have been dealing with the beginnings of forearm to wrist problems for the past 3-4 months as I am constantly on a keyboard. I am even at the point where I use a copper arm band for the compression of my arm so it does not hurt. I go to a chiro every 2 weeks and he works on my forearms to reduce some tension.

Super helpful. When typing, forcing yourself to hover is okay because you are going to stop and rest your hands and arms anyway. But what about gaming? When you're playing on the PC, your left hand needs to be on the keyboard almost 100% of the time. It's a real pain to keep them hovered for so long.

I'm asking Jamir to prove it. You're doing fine, sir! Ergonomic chairs, while having the ability to adjust the arm rests still provide zero benefit in regard to arm rests. When resting, using your device at the same time only leads to pivoting at the resting point which causes compression. In order for elbows to even make contact, they must be raised and unless elbows are barely grazing the surface of the surface of the arm rest, they are set at an improper height. With that height I described, no resting takes place anyway, so there is really no point to arm rests. Alternatively, one can look at standing posture. We do not have arm rests when we are standing. So why should we have them when we are sitting?

Dude, thanks. I was getting numbness and what felt like nerve damage every time I moved my hand from my mouse to my key board. I was resting it on an armrest. Also, I had neck numbness issues because it was raised too high...also the armrest. It all makes sense now. My chiro was right! What I thought was a premium add on my ergonomic chair was bad after all. It didn't click until you showed that resting and pivoting.

Then you don't recommend at all Keyboard Wrist Rests? They don't violate the same idea where my hands is straight along with the keyboard. I know it's still making my wrist pivoting but i'm just moving my fingers and whenever I need to go further on keyboard (e.g. numpad) I slide my whole wrist on the wrist rest along with the keyboard.

@PainReliefChiropractic 3 жыл бұрын
People typically don't use wrist rests as you describe. If you are sliding your wrist along the wrist rest, and not pivoting at the wrist, AND have no wrist discomfort, then that is fine to use a wrist rest. If pain starts though, the wrist rest is the first thing to go. Great question!

Thanks for sharing the suggestions, Doctor! I can confirm raising wrist too high when typing definitely causes health problems. I've used a thin Mac keyboard for years with very heavy usage without problems. Days ago I tried a mechanical keyboard which was four times higher than my Mac. Then I started getting pain around my wrist after two days of usage. Question: Besides the height of keyboards that determines how high you have to raise your hand, does the pressing force of keys also contribute to these health problems? In particular, the mainstream mechanical keyboards usually require 45cN or above of pressing force to register keys and 60cN or so for bottoming out (pressing keys to the bottom), and I suspect over time this causes fatigue and wearing out of muscles\tissues erves?
@PainReliefChiropractic

Yes that is correct. With repetitive motion this is a problem and with greater force required, it only speeds up the fatigue.

A wrist rest will lead to your wrists resting. I know that sounds stupid to say that because it is in the name of the product, but when you rest your wrist you compress your wrist and this is where your carpal tunnel is. In addition, any part of your body that rests will also tend to pivot and you will create a lot of motion in just the wrist alone which will cause the risk to work harder than it needs to. You can cover a greater area with motion coming from the elbows and shoulders rather than just the wrist. The short answer I do not think there is ever a reason to use a wrist rest

@@PainReliefChiropractic Good points. The included wrist rests in many so called ergo keyboards show to me that many people are not using a keyboard ergonomically. I have been touch typing for 40 years and have no problems and always wondered why so many people have the keyboard so far away from the body. That means you have to extend your arm, use your muscles for that, which will want you to rest your arm or hands. Instead when one has the keyboard close you will not need to rest the arms or hands while typing. What I personally would like is a rest for the times, when you make a short break. For example when thinking. Now I place the hands left and right of my (compact, but split) keyboard. That is o.k.

If you notice in this video, I have the keyboard placed on the wrist rest of the keyboard tray. By doing that, it provides a negative tilt to the keyboard which typically encourages neutral wrist positioning. On the other end, stop using keyboard kickstands. Lower those puppies down and eliminate using them. All that will do is cause a positive tilt in the keyboard tray, encouraging that improper wrist positioning that can lead to elbow and wrist pain.

elizabeth hollins the nerves that run through the carpal tunnel stem from the neck. Adjusting the neck can help any nerves that stem from it, but without addressing the cause of carpal tunnel (this video addresses one of quite a few causes of carpal tunnel syndrome) adjusting the neck alone for CTS does not fix the issue. Adjusting the wrist and loosening the muscles in the forearm is very important in treating CTS and should definitely be coupled with neck adjustments for this sort of thing.

Raising the seat can also achieve this without a keyboard tray needed. If your feet don't touch the ground due to this increased seat height, just use a foot rest.

When you are not working, your hands should be resting on your lap or at your side.

Back in the day students would required take typing classes. But today fewer schools are teaching students how to type. That's because schools believe students could learn keyboard on the own at home.

Mechanical keyboards are great, but that wouldn't do a thing when it comes to wrist health and carpal tunnel.
