Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - An evaluation of the ergonomics of three computer keyboards

Notas: The influence of keyboard design on a hand position, typing productivity and keyboard preference was evaluated by comparing two segmented alternative designs with the linear standar keyboard: the FIXED alternative keyboard and the OPEN alternative keyboard. Of the three keyboards evaluated, the FIXED design incorporated moderate changes to the standars keyboard. These changes promoted a more natural hand position while typing thereby reducing the potential for cumulative trauma disorders of the wrist. In addition, the FIXED design preserved a reasonable level of productivity and was well accepted by usersRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London [etc.]. - Vol. 43 nº 1, January 2000 ; p. 55-72Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Teclados Ordenadores Diseño ergonómico Análisis de puestos de trabajo Enfermedades profesionales Síndrome del Trauma Acumulativo Otros autores: Miller, D.I.
