With computer becoming one of the most used devices in our time, we find ourselves holding the mouse more often than we use our pens or pencils. The small computer-navigating device has become one of the most important tools in our daily lives. However, while we might not notice it, using this device for a long extended period of time will affect our body parts and it might become a hindrance to our health should we continue to ignore it.
This is why studies were conducted on this small device to find out how its design can be improve to help us while we are working with it. Conducted studies shows that more and more people are suffering from typing injury or repetitive stress injury. This type of injury occurs when users repeated repetitive motions such as when they are using the computer mouse for an extended period of time. Some of the common symptoms for this injury are when users experience muscle strain or pain in their arms, shoulders, fingers and wrists; those who are affected will experience muscle tightness or clenched muscles and also wrist pain. One of the ways to relieving methods for this is to take periodic breaks from work and do simple exercise to relieve muscle stress and tension, however this is not a preventive method for the long run.
One of the main causes for this injury is the design of the mouse, which is why more and more companies are manufacturing ergonomic computer mouse, the ergonomic design of the mouse helps relieve stress and tension as well as enhance the comfort level of the mouse user. However, with there are also dozens of computer mouse designs that did not adhere to the ergonomic design. While these computer mouse designs will attract attention and look attractive they are not necessarily comfortable to use.
