Question

write the summary of the given passage and give a suitable title

According to a report, on-the-job injuries are no longer confined strictly to blue-collar workers.
The modern-day office has become a danger zone and computers are largely to be blamed. Their

increased use points to an increase in sick leave and doctors’ visits. The new group of patients includes
writers, secretaries and data-entry clerks. Anyone who spends hours at a keyboard can be at risk.
The most frequent complaints are wrist, hand and neck pain. These are typical signs of
repetitive strain injuries. Another related condition is called carpal tunnel syndrome caused by

pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. It results from repeated movements such as typing or using
the mouse over a long period of time. Before computers came along, typists would stop to make

corrections or change paper. These movements provided some relief. Now, typists rarely move from
their computer, hitting as much as 21,600 words an hour. In severe cases, the pain shoots up a victim’s

arm. Some also develop neck and shoulder problems from holding their head in uncomfortable
positions. Computer users may also complain of eye strain, headaches, double vision and other eye
problems caused by improper use of display screens. It may be a result of staring at the screen for too

long. It could also be
due to improper lighting and screen glare. The best way to cope with such problems is to adopt

healthier work habits. This means that the workers have to hold their wrists flat when they use the
keyboard. They should also tap on the keys softly and take frequent breaks. Their feet should also be
flat on the floor and their heads and backs straight. Some may be required to change their typing
technique. In severe cases, taking a rest and some anti inflammatory medication may be necessary.

There are also ergonomic hardware and software that blends well with a person’s body or actions.
Some examples of such ergonomic hardware are tilting display screens, detachable keyboards and
specially designed keyboards that are suitable for the wrists. Employers and managers should help
employees create a comfortable working environment to reduce the side effects of working on the computer.​
