Bernholt, an orthopaedist from Duesseldorf. Small movements that
are constantly repeated can lead to ailments in the upper and low
arm. An ergonomic workspace can help prevent this.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/technology/how-to-avoid-mouse-arm/2007/09/11/1189276708235.html"><P>Mouse arm is a manifestation of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI),
and can be caused not only by working with a mouse but also through
other actions that overload the hand and arm area. "Your arm feels
funny, the muscles cramp or you feel a pull or prickling in the
arm," says Professor Hardo Sorgatz from the Institute for
Psychology at the Technical University of Darmstadt.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A67C0069-AEB3-4563-BF03-4FA35BDC7A2D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
