Do not anchor your wrists, RIGHT, WRONG

Page 24 highlights

RIGHT Maintain a comfortable, neutral wrist position. WRONG! Do not bend your wrists markedly inward. Do not anchor your wrists When typing, do not anchor or rest your wrists on your work surface, your thighs, or a palm rest (sometimes called a wrist rest). Resting your palms while typing may be harmful because it can cause you to bend and hold your wrists and fingers back. It can also apply pressure to the underside of your wrists. A palm rest is designed to provide support during pauses, when you are not typing (such as when you are reading from the screen). 14 Chapter 2 Finding your comfort zone

Maintain a comfortable, neutral wrist position.
WRONG!
Do not bend your wrists markedly inward.
Do not anchor your wrists
When typing, do not anchor or rest your wrists on your work surface, your thighs, or a palm rest
(sometimes called a wrist rest). Resting your palms while typing may be harmful because it can cause
you to bend and hold your wrists and fingers back. It can also apply pressure to the underside of your
wrists. A palm rest is designed to provide support during pauses, when you are not typing (such as when
you are reading from the screen).
