Office ergonomics: less mouse, more keyboard! Keyboard shortcuts can prevent neck and shoulder pain

Ergonomic research shows that using the mouse is 6-8 times riskier than using your keyboard (of course, less is you use an ergonomic mouse such as a vertical mouse). This is in particular because elbow abduction (spreading the elbow to the side) strains the upper trapezius and the tendon of the supraspinatus.

Therefore, keyboard shortcuts are a great idea to reduce the chance of neck pain or shoulder pain! And you don't even need to learn a long list of shortcuts: there is a logic behind them.

In this video, I show you the most common Windows keyboard shortcuts, and how to use them at work, at home, especially under Microsoft Office Suite.
