Important: Computer User Health Information
In recent years, medical attention on occupational injuries has identified
normal, seemingly harmless activities as a potential cause of a wide range of
problems collectively known as Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) or Cumulative
Trauma Disorders (CTD). It is now recognized that any repetitive motion
may contribute to these health problems. As a computer user, you might
also be at risk.
By paying attention to the way you perform your work, use your computer
and phone, play sports, and work around the house, you can identify
the behaviors that may be putting you at risk. If you experience pain,
swelling, numbness, or weaknesses in your wrists or hands (especially
during sleep) see your physician immediately. These symptoms could
mean that you are developing a repetitive stress injury that requires
prompt medical attention. For more detailed information, consult your
doctor, www.healthycomputing.com or a reputable book.
