It is not just the type of keyboard that should be taken into account
when you are trying to minimize stress, strain an tiredness!
You should make sure that the chair that is chosen has the following
features: five wheels to minimize the risk of tipping over, height
adjustment for setting the individual height for the particular
table/desk at which an individual(s) are going to be working, a High
back with lumbar support that can be raised and lowered for correct
positioning, a seat that can be tilted forward or backward to allow
for individual seating preference. If a chair that is chosen comes
with arm supports, make sure the arm supports are adjustable and do
not obstruct, restrict or get in the way when you are working.
The desk/table that is chosen should not be so high that if the chair
is at its full height, it is uncomfortable to perform any work. It is
recommended that, where possible, individuals who are performing
typing and writing tasks, should have their hands and wrists at an
angle that is higher than their elbows.
If you are working in an area where the floor is carpeted, purchasing
a mat that has studs on the underside can help in moving the chair
around in a workspace. Another advantage in having one of these mats,
is that they protect the mat from being snagged by the wheels.

Using a full keyboard to enter ASCII Braille causes less strain than
six-key
typing. There are many styles of ergonomic keyboards designed to reduce
strain. Typing on a properly-designed keyboard should not make your arms
or
hands tired even when you are older. An even better option for brailling
is
to let Duxbury do it!
