Differences in typing forces, muscle activity, wrist posture, typing performance, and self-reported comfort among conventional and ultra-low travel keyboards.
TLDR
Small differences indicate that using ultra-low travel keyboards may not have substantial differences in biomechanical exposures and typing performance compared to conventional keyboard; however, the subjective responses indicated that the ultra- low keyboards with the shortest key travel tended to be the least preferred.About:

Effect of the presence or absence of upper limb support on posture when a smartphone user is in a seated position under ambient light conditions
TL;DR: To prevent injury or pain, the use of an upper limb support (to lean on) should be considered for people/workers who use the smartphone frequently.

Shoulder, Elbow, and Wrist Joint Angle Excursions Vary by Gesture during Touchscreen Interaction
TL;DR: The results suggest that when gestures are repeated frequently, the relative risk of overuse injury at the shoulder, elbow, or wrist may depend on the gesture being repeated.

Monitoring and fuzzy warning system for risk prevention of Guyon’s canal syndrome
TL;DR: A novel methodology of monitoring and identification supported by a fuzzy warning system that warns the users to prevent from wrong wrist posture and to reduce the risks of Guyon’s canal syndrome is presented.

Investigating the Effect of Keyboard Distance on the Posture and 3D Moments of Wrist and Elbow Joints among Males Using OpenSim
Milad Gholami,Alireza Choobineh,Mohammad Abdoli-Eramaki,Azizallah Dehghan,Mohammad M. Karimi +4 more
TL;DR: The posture and 3D moments of wrist and elbow joints at different keyboard distances on a desk were determined to determine the risk of MSDs and a cut-off point has to be specified because large keyboard distances cause high extension and flexion of the limbs.

Shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint angle excursions vary by gesture during touchscreen interaction
TL;DR: In this article , the relative contributions of the shoulder, elbow and wrist to completion of several gestures to aid understanding of touchscreen ergonomics were quantitatively quantified for 22 seated participants while they interacted with a 10.1″ tablet computer held on an easel.

Muscles alive, their functions revealed by electromyography
TL;DR: The first logical deduction of muscle-generated electricity was first documented by Italian Francesco Redi in 1666 as discussed by the authors, who suspected that thenshock of the electric ray fish was muscular in origin and wrote, lIt appeared to me as if the painful action was located innthese two sickle-shaped bodies, or muscles, more than any other part of the body.
