Hasta La Motion!

I’m looking for some help regarding workstation layout, and minimizing an overuse injury I’ve sustained.

I work for a TV station as a broadcast designer, and since being here have been working all day, everyday at the desk.

I pushed it too hard and now have a neck/back overuse injury relating to posture, and have a compo case running, seeing physio etc.

Biggest problem we have is fixing the workstation so as to minimise stress on my body (for everyones benefit) and as use the tablet alot, the mouse also, and obviously the keyboard, it’s hard finding that balance.

So here is an image of my workstation (it’s always this clean, honest ;))

I’m a right handed pen user, have switched the mouse to my left, and use AE and 3D apps mostly, so left hand on keyboard for modifier keys etc.

This drawer we have had fit is causing me to have to lift my left arm all the time and is causing new stress.

HR is suggesting we go with a cutdown keyboard (no number pad) and have stuff (L to R) mouse, keyboard, tablet

Any suggestions on a better layout? Any tips or advice?

Thanks alot!

Dan
