COMPUTER TROUBLE

Dear friends, you may know that I suffer from Lumbar disc prolapse which causes intolerable pain in the back and legs. Analysing the cause for this, led me to a startling conclusion : The main culprit seems to be the hours spent slouched in front of the computer. I am writing this so that people who use computers for long may protect themselves from injury.
What are the common problems that computers cause and how to deal with it?


CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
•    Using keyboard or mouse for long can lead to pain, numbness and tingling in forearm, thumb and index fingers. If not treated, it can cause permanent damage and might need surgery.

SOLUTION:
•    Keep mouse and keyboard at the same level. The Keyboard should be placed so that forearms are parallel to the floor. There must be a right angle in the elbow.
•    Wrists should be straight and not bent.
•    Take few minutes break at least once an hour. Use break reminder software.
•    Use cushioned mousepads.
•    Spread fingers apart for several seconds while keeping wrists straight.
•    Learn common shortcut keys, macros and function keys in order to reduce keystrokes. 


NECK PAIN
Due to unnecessary neck movement.

SOLUTION:

•    A document holder is a must 
•    Tilt the monitor at 15 degrees for an optimal neck position

BACK PAIN
Due to
•    Unhealthy posture
•    Inadequate back support
•    Sitting in the same position for long time
 
SOLUTION:
•    Contoured chair with breathable fabric and rounded edges to distribute the weight
A pillow or rolled towel can be placed against the back of the chair for extra support

Your feet should be flat on the floor, your thighs parallel to the ground, knees forming a 90 degree angle. You may use a footrest.
•    Sit straight and avoid slouching.
•    Get up every hour, stretch and move around for about five minutes.


COMPUTER VISION SYNDROME 

•    Itching, burning and watering in eyes, 
•    Blurred vision
•    Headache
Due to light reflecting off the display screen or poor screen contrast.
 
SOLUTION:
•    Keep the monitor atleast 18 inches away from face and top of the screen at eye level.
•     Every 30 minutes, look away from the computer to stare at a distant object and blink 10 times slowly.
•    Adjust the brightness,contrast and refresh rate of your monitor to stop it flickering. Refresh rate should be at least 60 Hertz
•    Keeping your monitor the screen clean from dust.
Regular eye testing - do this at least once every 2 years. Ask your optician for tint coat on your glasses.
