| Resumen |
Both the physiology of injury and ergonomic factors were studied in detail in 53 disabled keyboard operators who complained of pain in the upper extremities. It was found that changes in the workstation (extrinsic ergonomic factors) may not be adequate treatment. Individual intrinsic ergonomic factors (i.e. inefficient typing styles) must also be recognized and corrected by a combination of physical therapy, conditioning, technique retraining and counselling. Two persons in the sample were also "mouse" users, and the ergonomics of this computer peripheral device is also discussed. |
