Ergonomics

This chapterÊprovides guidance and hints to help you work in a comfortable and ergonomically low-risk environment. If you experience pain or discomfort while using this or any other equipment, you should stop working and review this chapter. If the discomfort continues, stop using the equipment and consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Setting up and using equipment

Some people experience physical discomfort while using computers. Sometimes this discomfort leads to Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), also known as cumulative trauma disorder or repetitive motion injury. Setting up and using equipment properly can help minimize this discomfort. Well-designed and adjusted equipment may not be suffi- cient to eliminate all potential problems. How you perform your computer activities is also important.
