Anti-Repetitive Strain Injuries when working on the computer
by js yang
trackballs are as much a cause, if
not more so.
- The thousands of repeated keystrokes
and long periods of clutching and
dragging with mice slowly accumulates
damage to the body : another name
for the condition is Cumulative
Trauma Disorder.
- This can happen even more quickly as
a result of typing technique and body
positions that place unnecessary
stress on the tendons and nerves in
the hand, wrist, arms, and even the
shoulders and neck.
- Lack of adequate rest and breaks
and using excessive force almost
guarantee trouble.
#2 -- INFORMATION
You may have heard the term Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in connection with these injuries, but in fact CTS is only
a small and dangerous percentage of typing injuries.
Tendinitis, Bursitis, Tenosynovitis, Tendonosis, DeQuervain's Syndrome, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Trigger Finger/Thumb , Myofascial Pain Syndrome, and several other related conditions may also be to blame.
All of these are serious and in advanced cases can cause great pain and permanent disability.
In addition, patients injured by repetitive strain sometimes
develop Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD).
