Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) - An Overview of Preventive Methods
MSD's can range from general aches and pains to more serious
problems. Medical practitioners do recommend that all the users
who use computers regularly should report signs and symptoms as
early as possible to prevent serious injury or permanent damage.
The most commonly noticed signs and symptoms of MSD associated
with computer use are as follows:
Signs and Symptoms
1) Numbness or a burning sensation in the hand 2) Reduced grip
strength in the hand 3) Swelling or stiffness in the joints 4)
Pain in wrists, forearms, elbows, neck, or back followed by
discomfort 5) Reduced range of motion in the shoulder, neck, or
back 6) Dry, itchy, or sore eyes 7) Blurred or double vision 8)
Aching or tingling 9) Cramping 10) Loss of color in affected
regions 11) Weakness 12) Tension stress headaches and related
ailments
These types of problem can be caused by any of the following
factors:
1. If the user maintains an unnatural or unhealthy posture while
using the computer 2. If the lower back support is inadequate
for the user 3. If the user continues to sit in the same
position for an extended period of time 4. If the workstation
set up is ergonomically poor.
It should be noticed that all these symptoms might not
necessarily lead to an MSD. However, if the user experiences any
of the above symptoms, he/she should make an evaluation of their
working positions as well as the layout of their workstation.
It is always better to take precautions to avoid musculoskeletal
disorders than to treat them after you get affected. Some
general precautions include: · Taking regular breaks from
working at your computer - a few minutes at least once an hour ·
Alternating work tasks like mixing computer tasks with non
computer tasks alternately to avoid strain · Regular stretching
to relax your body · Using comfort equipment such as footrests,
wrist/palm rests, and document holders if required · Keeping the
mouse and keyboard at the same level · Avoiding gripping your
mouse too tightly - it is always recommended to hold the mouse
lightly and click gently
The monitor should possess the following features: · Your
monitor should swivel, tilt and elevate - if not use an
adjustable stand, books, or blocks to adjust the height · It
should be positioned so the top line of the monitor is not
higher than your eyes or not lower than 20°
below the horizon of
your eyes or field of vision · Ensure that it is at the same
level and near the document holder if you use one · It should be
between 18 to 24 inches away from your face The keyboard should
possess the following features: · It should be detachable and
adjustable (with legs to adjust angle) · It should allow your
forearms to be parallel to the floor without having to raise
your elbows · It should allow your wrists to be in line with
your forearms so your wrists need not be flexed up or down · It
should include enough space to rest your wrists or should
include a padded detachable wrist rest (or you can use a
separate gel wrist rest which should be at least 50 mm deep) ·
It should be placed directly in front of the monitor and at the
same height as the mouse, track ball, touch pad, or any other
pointing device.
The chair should possess the following features: · It should
support the back, and have a vertically adjustable independent
back rest that returns to its original position and should have
tilt adjustment to support the lower back · It should allow the
user to adjust its height to be adjusted from a sitting position
· It should be adjusted so the back crease of the knee is
slightly higher than the pan of the chair (use a suitable
footrest, if required) · It should be supported by a five prong
caster base · Ensure that it has removable and adjustable
armrests · It should also have a contoured seat with breathable
fabric and rounded edges to distribute the weight and should be
adjustable to allow the seat pan to tilt forward or back
The table/desk should possess the following features:
· Ensure that your table/desk provides ample leg room and is
height adjustable (preferably) · It should have enough room to
support the computer equipment and space for documents · It
should be at least 900 mm deep · It should have rounded and
blunt corners and edges
As discussed earlier, ensure that your workstation is set up
correctly. Normally, it includes the monitor, keyboard, mouse,
seating, desk, and where appropriate, footrest, wrist rest, and
document holder.
