We should keep in mind that ergonomic recommendations are for an average target at best, and won’t match a range of people’s use.
Those people injured their tendons and now cover it with their wrist, other people will have other issues, with other workarounds.
- coldtea 6y ago>We should keep in mind that ergonomic recommendations are for an average target at best If you mean regarding to heights, distances, etc, yes. Else, Err, not really. Anatomy is anatomy, people don't have different design of hands, wrists, etc.
- hrktb 6y agoPeople have different uses of their hands, wrists, different muscles and predispositions. For me personally the bottleneck was my finger’s middle joint, from too much mouse wheeling. Even for the targeted morphology, if you exactly stick to the recommended posture and input device etc. for 8h a day whole week, you will have issues anyway, it will just be a matter of what hurts first. The consensus as far as I know is to rotate posture (e.g. sitting/standing), input devices if possible, and try to avoid repetitive actions on always the same body parts.
