Danger from computer mouse

Working daily with computers, we often pay attention to safety for the eyes and protection from electromagnetic radiation. But there is another danger that many people do not pay attention to, even doubt, that is the danger from computer mice.

The immeasurable impact of using computer mice for a long time

Many people go to the doctor with fear when they see the pinky finger and ring finger numb because it is one of the signs of problematic brain circulation.

Nerve fibers in our wrists and hands work in channels that define the formation of bones, ligaments and muscles. When working long on the keyboard and especially with a computer mouse, nerves connected to the bones are pressed together. If that continues for a sufficiently long time, a stiff, painful pain will occur and will soon lose feeling in the fingers.

There are two ways to cure the syndrome in this wrist

The first way is to take medicine - by injecting a glucocarticoid drug into the channels and tissues surrounding the nerve to restore the transmission ability of nerves.

The second way is surgery . The doctor will cut away the tissue pressing against the nerve. This method is more complicated and time-consuming, but it seems more basic.

But of course nothing by preventing possible diseases. The best way to prevent disease is to go to the doctor at the time of feeling the difference in the fingers.

How to avoid hand pain when using a mouse

Note when choosing the mouse

This is one of the important factors to 'reduce the load ' for users' wrists. Currently on the market there are many types of computer mice with different sizes and designs. Therefore, when you buy a mouse, try holding the mouse and moving it to check if you are fit or not. Of course, a worthwhile mouse must help your hand move smoothly, the buttons are light and responsive and have rollers to facilitate scrolling.

Select the appropriate mouse set point

To put the mouse in the most appropriate position, the user must sit comfortably and let his arm relax. Put your elbows on the edge of the keyboard, then the wrist's touch point above the keyboard is the best place to place the mouse.

Another thing to note is that the place where the keyboard is located and where the mouse is placed must be on the same plane, should not be placed in two positions with different pitches. Usually the position of the right mouse is about 3-5 cm away from the keyboard and lies on the top of the number keys.

Do not lift the mouse when using the computer

Many people when using the mouse often have the habit of holding the mouse up, then dropping it to move the cursor. This just takes time and makes the right hand suffer weight when having to lift the mouse several times. To fix this habit, just hold and hold the mouse, then gently move it on the pad (Mouse Pad) to change the position of the mouse cursor.

Do not use your wrist as a fulcrum for the mouse

Another small note is that you should not let your wrist move with the mouse. You just need to use your wrist as a fulcrum like the fulcrum of the compass, then move the mouse horizontally and vertically to control the cursor on the screen.

Avoid long wrists

After a period of using the mouse, many people will realize that the position of the wrist rest will have a red stain due to blood accumulating there. To avoid this you need to regularly relax your wrist to avoid accumulating blood for long periods of time that may cause bad complications.

Do not move the arm much

When using a mouse with 'drag and drop' operations, the reader should not move the arm much. Because moving your arm will make the wrist rest point more exposed to the computer desk and it can make you more tired and sore.

Should frequently change mouse handles

Not always the mouse is placed on the user's right hand. Therefore, sometimes users should also change it to the left hand to reduce the load for their right arm.

Should be equipped with mouse pads

Because many people often use their wrists for support, in the long run it can cause your wrists to become bottled or painful. So you should replace a hard mouse pad with a soft pad to make your wrist softer when working for a long time.
