Headlines have spoken for over a decade about the
problem of repetitive stress injuries from excessive computer use. Many
industries and government officials have grown rich on the suffering of people
using computers. The truth is about to change all that.
Yahoo News reported in January, 2005 "As our reliance on computers increases, Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) such as Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) are hitting epidemic proportions. More than 28 million Americans use computers each day and, according to officials at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (news - web sites), (OSHA) many risk coming down with carpal tunnel syndrome , the painful, debilitating condition that is the number one disability reported by insurance companies today.
Repetitive musculoskeletal injuries like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome have become the nation's leading workplace health cost. RSI represents 62 percent of all North American WC claims and results in nearly $15-20 billion in lost work time and Workers Compensation claims each year, reports OSHA."
The
Problem - Computer Pain
No - Support Where There Is Stress
During traditional computer use.
Your hands are unsupported and curved.

Your wrists are
bent and unsupported
while your fingers type
.
Your forearms are unsupported.
Your arms are holding
up your
wrists, forearms and hands
at an almost right angle,
sometimes for hours.
Your shoulders and
neck
are straining to hold
most of your upper body weight
to compensate for
the lack of adequate support.
A lack of support produces stress.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HURT - STOP COMPUTER PAIN NOW
People are hurting as a result of being on computers for long periods of time. Computer illness including carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive stress injuries are unnecessary dramas. Computer use can even cause osteoarthritis. This is from wear and tear on joints and nerves by the subtle movements from a worksheet, to the monitor, to the keyboard and back, continuously. The drama is compounded by political, insurance and medical interests, who are making a lot of money on keeping the problem in place.
Currently, the human is expected to contort to the needs of the computer. For fast typists that means long hours of days holding your arms tensed, suspended in mid-air, as bent or strained wrists hold up fingers flying over keys. It is not wise to assume that exposing flesh and blood to that level of pressure for years is an acceptable risk.
For those suffering from intense repetitive stress injuries, not only do they hurt most of the day, but the pain follows into the evening and, in some cases, is severe enough to wake a person from a sound sleep with razor sharp pains.
Cyber health and safety are ergonomic issues CompUrest resolves.
Computer injuries, repetitive stress injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck, back and shoulder pain, whatever you want to call the injuries, are real problems for many people who use computers frequently. Check out the National Institute For Occupational Safety and Health, NIOSH and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's information on Ergonomics from the U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA, the U.S. Government's watchdogs on the situation, for statistics. To solve the problem we must make sure what is recommended is rated for effectiveness and accepted in the trilogy of hardware, software and humanwear.CompUrest addresses computer illness and provides you with computer health using the effective carpal tunnel syndrome solution of provide support wherever there is stress, while keeping wrists flat and straight.
The fact is that many people are being hurt while computing. Many computer users are cramped in unnatural positions for long periods of time supporting their body weight in a way that, based on results, serves the computer and injures them.
Common sense says that when the problem is stress, the solution is adequate support. By supporting hands, arms, elbows, upper arms and shoulders, stress is reduced. When you reduce your stress, you reduce your repetitive stress.
