typing posture
How you sit
Typing posture is the position of the body while using a keyboard—the alignment of back, shoulders, arms, and wrists.
Good typing posture typically means sitting upright with feet flat, elbows at roughly ninety degrees, and wrists neutral rather than bent: Her typing posture improved after she raised her chair.
Poor typing posture can lead to repetitive strain injuries and chronic pain.
