WORKPLACE MYTH?

摘要

Everyone knows that spending too much time work-ins on a computer keyboard and with a mouse can cause hand pain and numbness - more commonly known as carpal tunnel syndrome. Or can it? Some researchers suggest the connection between CTS and computer keyboard use may be a myth. According to experts, including the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, little clinical evidence suggests computer keyboard use is a risk factor for developing CTS. Although other types of hand strain can result from overuse of a keyboard or mouse, CTS likely is not linked to these actions.
