Enlightenment: Suggest ergonomic ways or devices to prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.


Source: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a well-known medical disorder.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

There is a hidden human cost to high-volume data entry that we are just beginning to realize. Prolonged use of the keyboard, such as in high-volume data entry, or high-volume typing, can cause Repetitive Strain Injury. (RSI). Technically, RSI can be caused by any repetitive motion. However, since touch typing - keyboarding is one of the most dominant office activities, RSI is commonly associated with this activity.

RSI occurs because the muscles of the forearm do most of the work moving the fingers and wrists, in high volume repetitive activities. Over time repetitive motions can cause soft-tissue damage in which nerves, or tendons may become irritated or inflamed.

"Injury is even more likely to occur if the stronger muscles of the back, shoulder, and upper arm are impaired because of poor posture, or poorly fitted office equipment, forcing the forearm and hand muscles to do more work." [See A]

Please do suggest or share your experience. Thanks!
