Computer mouse is used frequently in our daily life, and there are more and more "mouse hands". How to prevent it?

Hello, everyone. Speaking of mouse hands, many people may not know what is going on. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a disease caused by long-term mouse operation. People who work in the office for a long time are oppressed by the incorrect posture of using the mouse for a long time, which leads to numbness and weakness of the index finger and middle finger, so it is also called carpal tunnel syndrome.

In addition to white-collar workers, lactating women are also prone to carpal tunnel syndrome. This is because mothers need to hold their children for breastfeeding. This feeding action may last for more than half an hour. If you keep your posture for a long time, your wrist will be in a state of extreme flexion, which will lead to persistent inflammation and edema of local tendons and healthy wrist syndrome. In the early stage, it was mainly wrist pain, burning sensation, inflexible activities and stiff fingers. The main manifestations are sensory disturbance, finger numbness and other symptoms. In severe cases, there may even be finger spasm and muscle atrophy. How should white-collar workers working in offices correct and prevent carpal tunnel syndrome?

First of all, choose the correct office posture. When using a computer, the height of the keyboard and mouse on the computer desk should be lower than the elbow when sitting, so as not to oppress the median nerve of the elbow. Sit up straight and use high-quality cushions, put your feet flat on the ground or mat, place the display screen at a suitable height, and keep your eyes at the same level as the screen.

In addition, when using the mouse, don't hang your arm to reduce the pressure on your wrist, and don't knock hard on the keyboard and mouse buttons. Secondly, we should pay attention to rest to avoid the upper limbs being in a fixed, mechanical and frequent working state for a long time. When using the mouse, keyboard or mobile phone, you should get up and move your limbs every hour, do some movements such as clenching fists, shaking hands and shaking hands, and relax your wrists and fingers. Ok, that's all for today. Follow me to learn more about health.
