Have carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms? Spend a lot of time at the computer?
A vertical mouse can reduce repetitive strain on the carpal tunnel. It keeps the hand/wrist in a relaxed, neutral position.
Things to AVOID:
- prolonged reading or watching TV while sitting on a chair or sofa.
- reading in bed.
- slumped posture while sitting or being on a computer. RECOMMEND sitting on a balance ball or a straight back seat.
- While doing various activities like knitting or quilting, put pillows underneath your arms to elevate your work.
Proper workspace posture. Try to use a standup desk when possible. Switch it up from sitting to standing. If possible, use a pullout tray for the keyboard to have it lower than 90 degrees. For laptops, an external keyboard can be added.
