Since the television campaign on MSDs, many wondered if the many employees using a computer could be affected by these physical disorders. Until now no study was n'vait réallisée on this topic. Well, it seems that it's done since the first study has been carried out by a Dutch researcher. People who work long hours on the computer have no more risk of RSI '(repetitive strain injury' or TMS - musculo-skeletal), says a study by Stefan Ijmker, researcher at the University Medical Centre Amsterdam.
Ijmker is the first to lead the Netherlands a study on the famous RSI or musculoskeletal disorders. For two years he has followed 2,000 employees office which he recorded the time spent working on computers.
The study revealed that pain in the arms and shoulders felt were not related to the intensive use of the computer.
In fact, employees with low account of their work or little variation in their tasks are more likely to suffer from MSDs, as well as those who simultaneously use the PC and phone, which continue to work during their lunch break or get involved too closely in their work.
