- What it is
- A workplace health and safety guide from Canada's national occupational health and safety centre on choosing and setting up a keyboard. It defines a neutral wrist and recommends trying different keyboard models, since no single design is agreed to be best.
- How much weight it carries
- Published by a federal health and safety agency. It is general guidance rather than a trial, so it defines the target posture and gives practical setup advice without measuring effects on symptoms.
