Added "mouse hand" to the list of occupational diseases

First of all, the cause of "mouse hand" is muscle tension and joint pain caused by repetitive operation of the keyboard or mouse for a long time. This disease mainly occurs in those who need to work in front of the computer every day, especially those who often need to use the keyboard for input work. In addition, long-term use of the computer can also cause discomfort in the cervical spine, shoulders and back, and may even lead to vision loss.

Secondly, the symptoms of "mouse hand" mainly include arm numbness, finger pain, wrist swelling, hand weakness and other symptoms. If left untreated, it may also cause serious complications, such as tenosynovitis, elbow tunnel syndrome, etc. Therefore, for people who use computers frequently, they should minimize the use time, rest properly, and avoid maintaining the same posture for a long time.

Finally, "mouse hand" prevention measures include correct use of the keyboard and mouse, maintaining correct sitting and standing positions, regular relaxation activities such as stretching exercises, hot compresses, etc. At the same time, symptoms can also be relieved through massage, physiotherapy, etc. If severe symptoms appear, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition.

In general, "mouse hand" is a common occupational disease, but with proper precautions, most people can avoid it. Let's start now and develop good habits to protect our health.
