Common risk factors can contribute to the development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) when computer users are exposed frequently, or for long periods of time.
These include:
Keying for long periods of time without breaks or rest
Using force when striking the keyboard or when gripping the pointing device (e.g. mouse, trackball)
Working with awkward neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, or back postures
Remaining in the same position for a long time with little or no movement (e.g. sitting, holding the mouse)
Continuous pressure against (leaning on) the wrist rest, work surface edge, or armrest with the wrists, forearms, or elbows; or against the front edge of the chair with the back of the legs
