Health Warning
Use of a keyboard, mouse, or trackball may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.
Recent medical research of occupational Injuries has linked normal, seemingly harmless
activities as a potential cause of Repetitive Stress Injuries ("RSI"). Many factors may be
linked to the occurrence of RSl, including a person's own medical and physical condition,
overall health, and how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and
other activities (including use of a keyboard or mouse). Some studies suggest that the
amount of time a person uses a keyboard, mouse, or trackball may also be a factor.
Consult a qualified health professional for any questions or concerns you may have
about these risk factors. When using a keyboard, mouse, or trackball, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your
body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort,
pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, even if
such symptoms occur while you are not working at your computer. DO NOT IGNORE
THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. These
symptoms can be signs of sometimes permanently disabling RSI disorders of the nerves,
muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis,
tenosynovitis, and other conditions.
