How can you type in a manner that doesn't harm your wrists or fingers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Accessory aids: Using your fingers and wrists is utilizing muscles in your hands and arms to type. Start slowly and increase the amount of time you are typing. This is like exercise. Go to office supple store and check out padded wrist keyboard rests. Optimize your seating, is the chair height correct? Does the tablet height fit to allow you to rest your hands in a natural position? Hope this helps.
