Health Warning
Use of a keyboard or pointing device may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. When using a
computer, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms,
shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or
recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness,
DO NOT
IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL
, even if
symptoms occur when you are not working at your computer. Symptoms such as these can be associated
with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons,
or other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome,
tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement
that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including: medical and physical conditions, stress
and how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and uses his or her body during
work and other activities (including use of a keyboard or pointing device). Some studies suggest that the
amount of time a person uses a keyboard may also be a factor. Some guidelines that may help you work
more comfortably with your computer and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD can be found
in the “Healthy Computing Guide” section later in this document. If you have questions about how your
own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health
professional.
