    1. Use ergonomic equipment: Ann should consider using ergonomic equipment, such as a wrist rest or an ergonomic keyboard and mouse, to reduce strain on her wrists.
    2. Take breaks: Ann should take regular breaks from the computer to give her wrists a chance to rest and recover. She can also stretch and move her wrists regularly to reduce muscle tension.
    3. Maintain good posture: Good posture can help to reduce strain on the wrists and other parts of the body. Ann should make sure that her chair and desk are at the right height and that she is sitting with her feet flat on the ground and her elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
    4. Use the mouse with both hands: Using the mouse with both hands can help to reduce strain on the wrists by distributing the workload between both hands. Ann should try to alternate hands when using the mouse.
    5. Adjust the computer settings: Ann should ensure that the font size and brightness on her computer are set to comfortable levels to reduce eye strain and fatigue. She should also consider using voice recognition software to reduce the need for typing.
