Arm Pads Give Relief to Computer Pain
Jennifer Warner
April 21, 2006 — Resting your forearms on supportive arm boards or pads may take some of the aches and pains out of working at a computer every day.A new study suggests that providing forearm support can significantly reduce neck and shoulder pain as well as hand, wrist, and forearm pain associated with computer use.
“Based on these outcomes, employers should consider providing employees who use computers with appropriate forearm support,” says researcher David Rempel, MD, MPH, director of the ergonomics program at San Francisco General Hospital, in a news release.
