Health Warning
Use of a keyboard or mouse 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 or mouse 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 or mouse, 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.
