“Typing Without Pain” Individual Keyboard Training
(doctor prescription or via company sponsorship)
What is the “Typing Without Pain” Keyboard Training Program?
Whether your patients have exposed themselves to injury via the
“hunt and peck” or “home-row” typing method,
the Prodigy to Maestro training program is a pioneering “pain-free”
approach to typing. PBE’s “Typing Maestros”
will teach patients how to replace antiquated and injurious typing
moves with a rhythmic, pianistic and fun typing technique designed
to let their fingers “dance” upon the key tops. By
mastering PBE’s hallmark features of Drum Rolls, Choreography
and more, they will rise from the rank of Typing Prodigy to Typing
Maestro.
What are the goals of the program?
The “Prodigy to Maestro” training program has been
designed to help prevent and reduce both the pain and injury associated
with improper keyboard and mouse use. When properly applied, this
program is an invaluable and highly effective tool in combating
a patient’s computer related RSI. The long-term success
in maintaining a patient’s comfort at the computer is achieved
via behavior modification and the acquisition of specific movement
skills.
Session Topics Include:
| • |
Learning
the “Prodigy to Maestro” Typing Technique which
teaches patients bio-mechanically efficient and coordinated
typing and mousing motions. |
| • |
Choreographing
specific typing movements thus enabling joints and muscles
to move in a mid-range of motion, which in turn allows patients
a greater freedom of motion at the computer |
| • |
Introducing
and incorporating the concept of coordinated vs. isolated
movements at the computer as the salient tool in maintaining
and/or increasing a patient’s productivity |
| • |
Correlating
the most common computer related RSI’s with poor keyboard
and mouse mechanics |
| • |
Mastering
Key Commands as a viable option in reducing mouse dependency |
| • |
Improving
sitting posture and balance |
Where
will the training take place and how long does it take?
That’s the great news! All training conveniently takes place
right at your patient’s own workstation. This enables the
patient and his/her trainer to cover the challenges pertaining
to the particular job tasks that may contribute to their pain
& discomfort. Training comprises an average of 4–6 one
hour visits over a period of approximately 6 to 8 weeks.
