Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common and costly workplace injuries that affect muscles, nerves, tendons and joints. Examples include carpal tunnel syndrome and lower back pain. MSDs can be prevented by maintaining neutral postures through properly adjusting workstations and equipment to fit each individual. This involves keeping the wrists straight, elbows bent at 90 degrees, monitor at eye level, and using chairs, keyboards and mice in ways that avoid extreme motions or positions. Taking frequent breaks and varying tasks can also help reduce injury risk.
