When using a computer keyboard what could be a risk with ergonomics?
- A.
Mistyped words syndrome
- B.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- C.
Thumb Hypertension
Correct Answer
B. Carpal Tunnel SyndromeExplanation
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a risk associated with ergonomics when using a computer keyboard. It is a condition that occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm to the hand, becomes compressed or squeezed at the wrist. This can happen due to repetitive hand movements, awkward hand positions, or improper wrist support while typing. Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Proper ergonomics, such as using a wrist rest, maintaining a neutral wrist position, and taking regular breaks, can help prevent this condition.Rate this question:
