Contact pressure in the wrist during computer mouse work.

چکیده
This study investigated the relationship between computer mouse work and contact pressure around the pisiform. Commonly performed mouse work was simulated using 3 different-shaped mice with 3 forearm positions. When typical mouse work was performed, the contact pressure on the pisiform area was evaluated using a digital pressure sensor and compared with that of the thenar area. Six mouse tasks were simulated. Results indicate that mouse users should avoid wrist-snap dragging and resting their wrist on the edge of the desk to minimize the pressure concentration on the pisiform area.

متن کاملObserved finger behaviour during computer mouse use.
Two-button computer mouse users may exhibit sustained, static finger lifting behaviours to prevent inadvertent activations by avoiding finger pressure on the buttons, which leads to prolonged, static finger extensor muscle loading. One hundred graduate students were observed during normal computer work in a university computer facility to qualify and quantify the prevalence of lifted finger beh...
متن کاملEffects of computer mouse design and task on carpal tunnel pressure.
Computer mouse use has become an integral part of office work in the past decade. Intensive mouse use has been associated with increased risk of upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders, including carpal tunnel syndrome. Sustained, elevated fluid pressure in the carpal tunnel may play a role in the pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel pressure was measured in 14 healthy ind...
متن کاملEffects of precision demands and mental pressure on muscle activation and hand forces in computer mouse tasks.
The objective of the present study was to gain insight into the effects of precision demands and mental pressure on the load of the upper extremity. Two computer mouse tasks were used: an aiming and a tracking task. Upper extremity loading was operationalized as the myo-electric activity of the wrist flexor and extensor and of the trapezius descendens muscles and the applied grip- and click-for...
