Wrist posture during computer pointing device use.
OBJECTIVE This research examines individual differences in the wrist postures adopted during the use of two pointing devices (mouse and trackball). DESIGN A multiple case study of twelve participants was employed. BACKGROUND The use of pointing devices may lead to musculoskeletal discomfort and injury as a consequence of prolonged exposure to postures involving wrist extension and ulnar dev...
متن کاملCraniofacial and Cervical Morphology Related to Sagittal Spinal Posture in Children and Adolescents
Studies on the relationship between body posture and craniofacial parameters often focus on the cervical spine. Thus, less attention has been paid to the morphology of the vertebra C2 that serves as both a structural and functional link between the craniofacial area and the other part of the spine. The objective of this study was to assess the relation of craniofacial features to certain morpho...
متن کاملEffects of neutral posture on muscle tension during computer use.
This study focused on developing a new approach to seated work positions was conducted on 67 office workers who use a Visual Display Terminal (VDT) as a major function of their working day. Muscle tension was measured by surface electromyography (sEMG) while participants were asked to adopt 4 selected working postures. Pain was measured before and after ergonomic intervention on the Nordic scal...
متن کاملAssessing the Posture and predicting the factors affecting musculoskeletal disorders in computer uses by neural networks
Introduction: Working with a computer and workplace conditions expose people to risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study aimed to assess posture, examine MSDs, and determine, weigh and prioritize the risk factors among computer users by a neural network algorithm. Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in six phases on compute...
متن کاملThe spinal posture of computing adolescents in a real-life setting
BACKGROUND It is assumed that good postural alignment is associated with the less likelihood of musculoskeletal pain symptoms. Encouraging good sitting postures have not reported consequent musculoskeletal pain reduction in school-based populations, possibly due to a lack of clear understanding of good posture. Therefore this paper describes the variability of postural angles in a cohort of asy...
