Have you ever had an ergonomic assessment?  I have, and it was a great way to get my workstations (home and office) set up for me after a neck injury following a car accident five years ago. I still suffer from upper back, shoulder and neck fatigue and am always looking for ways to improve my set-up.

So when Kate from Goldtouch approached me to see if I was interested in taking part in their 30-day Ergonomic Challenge, I agreed to participate. I liked Kate. I liked the idea of checking out an ergo keyboard (even though its main purpose isn’t to relieve upper back, shoulder, and neck strain), and I really liked the idea of giving a blog reader a chance at getting a keyboard of their own.

The deal was that I would look over their products and choose something. And then Kate would send me one for myself and one for a blog reader.

I chose the Go!2 Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard. It works with both a PC and Mac (though this version doesn’t have the special keys on a mac keyboard). I’m still working with, and I like lots of things about it, like the way it folds up and the way you can make both horizontal and vertical adjustments to it.  Here’s mine:

And here’s a youtube video of its features:

Meanwhile, you don’t need a Goldtouch Keyboard to incorporate ergonomic fixes as part of your overall approach to health. Here’s a nice set of suggestions from Goldtouch:
