Because carpal tunnel syndrome develops gradually, the disabling effects can be prevented or at the very least, be diminished by early detection and treatment.

For example, employers of computer operators can reduce the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome by implementing ergonomic and health and wellness programs. How well do you know your co-workers? Are they suffering from repetitive stress injuries?

  Are employees using aspirin in the office?

  Are computer users suffering from burning, itchy, red, dry, or tired eyes?

  Are employees continuously shifting in their chairs to get comfortable?

  Do workers roll their heads to loosen the knots in their stiff neck?

  Do people shrug their sore shoulders?

  Are they trying to "shake pain" out of their hands?

  Are employees wearing wrist braces?

  Do people complain about aches and pains?

  Are people absent due to backaches?

  Are you having trouble retaining workers or recruiting good people?

  Are you hearing grunts, groans, exhalations -shallow breathing?

  Are your employees stressed more then they should be?

  Do they pound the keys on the keyboard?

  Do they choke the mouse to death?

When computer users are uncomfortable or in pain it's difficult for them to concentrate, focus their eyes, and think about the task at hand. Applying ergonomics can help overcome those inefficiencies!
