MAKING YOUR COMPUTER WORK FOR YOU
Computers are everywhere. More and more people sit at
computers for longer periods of time. This appendix explains
how to set up your computer to fit your physical needs. This
information is based on ergonomics — the science of making
the workplace fit the needs of the worker.
Some nerve, tendon, and muscle disorders (musculoskeletal
disorders) may be associated with repetitive activities,
improper work environments, and incorrect work habits.
Examples of musculoskeletal disorders that may be
associated with certain forms of repetitive activities include:
carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, de
Quervain’s tenosynovitis, and trigger finger, as well as
other nerve, tendon, and muscle disorders.
