Effects of computer mouse design and task on carpal tunnel pressure

摘要: Computer mouse use has become an integral part of office work in the past decade. Intensive been associated with increased risk upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders, including carpal tunnel syndrome. Sustained, elevated fluid pressure may play a role pathophysiology Carpal was measured 14 healthy individuals while they performed tasks using three different computer mice. Participants multidirectional dragging (‘drag and drop’) task starting hand resting (static posture) on mouse. With one mouse, additional pointing (‘point-and-click’) performed. All mice were similar wrist extension postures (p= 0.41) pressures 0.48). Pressures significantly greater during than when 0.003). The mean 28.8- 33.1 mmHg, ∼ 12 mmHg great...
