Guest guest Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Typing has been good exercise for my hands as well, but we are all different.  My neurologist did tell me that I should avoid weight-bearing resistance exercises, i.e. lifting weights with my hands.  For those using a keyboard, an ergonomic keyboard (i.e. Microsoft 4000 natural) can really help with avoiding repetitive motion injury. At a minimum, a wrist guard can be used to raise the wrists up to a more natural position. And, taking frequent breaks.  From: MommyToJase@... <MommyToJase@...> Subject: Re: Re: resistance exercise Date: Wednesday, September 29, 2010, 12:56 PM  My hands are in much better shape using the lap top then they were before. Type has been great exercise for my hands. I can type forever with less fatigue. In a message dated 9/29/2010 10:39:35 A.M.

If the hands are already weak, then your child will compensate for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
