Home office physical health
I've noticed some minor symptoms of carpel tunnel syndrome in my 'mousing hand' and have started to examine some proper ways to set-up my soho work environment. It's nothing serious yet but I think those of us who spend hours everyday in much the same position doing much of the same thing should be vary wary. Perhaps this is yet another reason to be even more mobile than a home office will allow - pick a string of coffee shops to work in to keep you active and to change the positions in which you work. That is if you can work in that environment and it is available to you. Replacing a corporate cubicle for a home office doesn't always give you the freedom you thought it would - get out and work some place new.
Work station ergonomics
"Incorrect working posture can cause musculoskeletal disorders affecting the neck, back, shoulders, arms and fingers."
"It's thought that repetitive overuse of the hand tendons causes them to become inflamed. This is one reason why keyboard use can be responsible for carpal tunnel syndrome."
Above photo is not the best example of good posture.
