I know few problems which I would like to share with you members. They are back pain, eye strain, neck pains, and problems with the ankle joint. I heard computer cause some problems related to heart though I am not sure. Can anyone read about this or informed about this.

I have a fancy name to say about the problems a computer professional could face. It is called Pilot seat syndrome, isn’t fanciful; may be as the pilot sits for long hours in the seat as we do at this box and his problems are similar.

Computer related injury or Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) result from repeated movements and awkward postures that fatigue and strain (and can permanently damage) soft tissues. Improper use and/or overuse of muscles and tendons in the fingers, hands, arms, shoulders, neck and back during work and recreational activities can cause cell damage by depleting oxygen and nutrients in the tissues. Because we use these body parts daily, they are given little opportunity to repair themselves. A small ache or pain tolerated for a long time may eventually result in RSI. When you understand the conditions that can cause injuries, you can modify your actions and the tools and equipment you use to reduce the potential for cumulative damage to your body.
