  This study found that participants commonly demonstrated potentially risky keyboard postural behaviors, particularly in the hands and fingers. Therefore, occupational therapists evaluating keyboard users should examine not only body postures but also wrist and finger postures to determine whether and how often a client assumes a potentially risky postural behavior. Additionally, occupational therapists need to assess both the left and the right sides of the body while evaluating a client using a keyboard to determine variations in performance by side. Through accurate identification of client-specific problem areas, the occupational therapist can more efficiently and effectively implement interventions that will reduce potential risk factors.
