I asked a question about precisely this topic on Programmers.se back in the very early days. It was apparently off topic back then. Glad to hear it has become on-topic now.

I would also be interested to know if there is any research/information on reducing the likelihood of arthritic changes in the hand if we are using them for fine work over long periods.

I found learning the Dvorak keyboard layout was a huge help, since it reduces the amount of movement your fingers have to make.
