| description | Introduction: With the advent of technology, use of computer has become an essential part of human life. The most important human achievement in recent years is the invention of computer. The main problems caused by computer use are musculoskeletal disorders. However, information about the health problems caused by working with computers and prevention strategies is insufficient. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide ergonomic principles for working with computers in order to reduce and prevent musculoskeletal disorders, facilitate the Interactions between human and equipment to improve the health and safety of computer users.
Method: The keywords of computer, ergonomics, and musculoskeletal disorders were searched in four databases (Pubmed, Google, Scopus, and Medline) during 1994 to 2016, and 70 reviews were found out, among which 42 reviews were selected based on their quality and reliability and scientifically analyzed.
Results: It was found that further information, education, and studies are required for preventing chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders. Furthermore, ergonomic reforms of the equipment and workstation are very essential.
Conclusion: In this study, the simple and essential health strategies and ergonomic principles for working with computers, appropriate computer workstation ergonomics, and the need for training and giving information to computer users were described. |
