Take Breaks
Taking breaks can help your body recover from any activity and may help you avoid
MSDs. The length and frequency of breaks that are right for you depend on the type
of work you are doing. Stopping the activity and relaxing is one way to take a break,
but there are other ways, also. For example, just changing tasks—perhaps from sitting
while typing to standing while talking on the phone can help some muscles relax
while others remain productive.
To vary your daily activities and to work productively, try the following:
● Plan your work and play so that you are not doing the same thing for extended
periods of time (such as performing the same activity or using the same part of
your body).
● Use different input devices, such as your mouse and keyboard, to accomplish the
same task. For example, to perform a scrolling task, you can use the wheel on the
mouse and the arrow keys on the keyboard.
● Work more efficiently by using software and hardware features to reduce your
effort and increase your productivity. For example, you can press the Windows
logo key to open the Windows Start menu.
● Learn about software and hardware features by reading the information that
accompanied these products. For example, if you frequently highlight text, activate
the mouse ClickLock feature.
Be Healthy
A healthy lifestyle can help you perform and enjoy your everyday activities, including
the time spent at your computer. Also, learning more about your health is an
important step in staying comfortable and productive while using your computer.
To help maintain good health, try the following:
● Eat a balanced diet and get adequate rest.
● Exercise for overall fitness and to improve the strength and flexibility of your
body. Consult a qualified health professional to help you choose the stretches and
exercises that are right for you.
● Learn to manage stress. One way to reduce stress at work is to plan your work area
and schedule so that noise and distractions are kept to a minimum.
● See a qualified health professional if you have questions about how your medical
and physical conditions may be related to MSDs. While researchers are not yet
able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many
factors may be linked to their occurrence, including previous injuries, diabetes,
hormonal changes (such as pregnancy), and rheumatoid arthritis.
Conclusion
Learning more about working comfortably and productively, as well as your overall
health, are important ways to help you enjoy your computing experience.
