Some people are more susceptible to developing these disorders due to pre-
existing conditions or psychosocial factors (see "Pre-existing Conditions and
Psychosocial Factors" later in the appendix).
To reduce your risk of developing these disorders, follow the instructions in
this appendix. If you experience discomfort while working at your computer
or afterwards, even at night, contact a doctor as soon as possible. Signs of
discomfort might include pain, tenderness, swelling, burning, cramping,
stiffness, throbbing, weakness, soreness, tingling and/or numbness in the
hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, back, and/or legs.

ARRANGE YOUR EQUIPMENT

Arrange your equipment so that you can work in a natural and relaxed
position. Place items that you use frequently within easy reach. Adjust your
workstation setup to the proper height (as described in this appendix) by
lowering the table or stand that holds your computer equipment or raising
the seat height of your chair. To create more desk space, you can put your
computer base on the floor.
