If you spend at least several hours a day at a computer, you risk nerve, muscle, tendon and ligament damage damage in your hands, arms, shoulders neck and back, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS).
Awkward postures and repetitive movements (50,000 to 200,000 keystrokes a day, for some people) can cause injuries to develop over time. Ergonomics experts say that a properly laid out workstation and correct posture techniques can help minimize the risk of injuries.
