:01:21. > :01:26.shoulders, she reminds me that sitting at a desk and using a
:01:26. > :01:30.keyboard and mouse is bad for your body. You may have seen me using
:01:30. > :01:37.ergonomic devices designed to prevent repetitive strain injury.
:01:37. > :01:43.Have you stopped to wonder if your mobile devices are any better for
:01:43. > :01:49.you? Lara Lewington looks at whether there are any ways to enjoy
:01:49. > :01:53.tech without the twinges. Back in the days when we all read books and
:01:53. > :01:57.newspapers and played music on the wireless, our bodies were put
:01:57. > :02:03.through a reasonable range of movements. As we are increasingly
:02:03. > :02:07.using tablets and smart phones for, well, pretty much everything, we're
:02:07. > :02:14.spending a lot of time both typing and brooding on them and using a
:02:14. > :02:18.few specific actions many times. -- and reading. There are a number of
:02:18. > :02:23.issues to do with sitting at a computer for too long, not sitting
:02:23. > :02:28.comfortably and not taking train brakes. Tablets and smart phones
:02:28. > :02:35.have not been as long for so long. -- taking screen breaks. We have to
:02:35. > :02:40.get to grips with how to enjoy them comfortably. Using these devices
:02:40. > :02:47.puts our muscles and joints at a mechanical disadvantage. We work
:02:47. > :02:52.harder, expend more energy. People describe a range of problems. These
:02:52. > :02:57.range from pain and ageing through to tingling, pins and needles,
:02:57. > :03:07.numbness, swelling, headaches. There is a range of things. The
:03:07. > :03:08.head, neck, shoulders, hands and wrists. Of recent survey by the
:03:08. > :03:14.Chartered Society of physiotherapists suggest that

:03:19. > :03:25.from work. It is no surprise repetitive strain injury is
:03:25. > :03:31.becoming a bigger issue. Hands are a very complex system of tendons
:03:31. > :03:36.and pulleys. They become inflamed and thickened. You can end up with
:03:36. > :03:41.carpal tunnel, tendons running up and down the wrists and the nerves
:03:41. > :03:48.get trapped. Patients wake up in the middle of the night with

:04:15. > :04:20.consequences have been serious. was surprised that, just by using
:04:20. > :04:26.my phone, I ended up in a position where I had surgery and was in a
:04:26. > :04:31.cast for six weeks afterwards. I went to see the doctor and they did
:04:31. > :04:37.diagnose repetitive strain injury initially. The tablets and things
:04:37. > :04:41.that they gave me bird not working, they sent me for physiotherapy and
:04:41. > :04:46.the physiotherapist said, straight away, that it was more serious than
:04:46. > :04:52.a bit of medium physiotherapy and they thought I had done some proper
:04:52. > :04:58.damage. After more investigation and an MRI scan, the tendon in my
:04:58. > :05:03.thumb had snapped. I was using my time on the train commuting in and
:05:03. > :05:07.out of London for sending e-mails. I had been given this gadget that I
:05:07. > :05:13.thought was brilliant. You don't realise that something that you
:05:13. > :05:18.thought was such a gift can actually end up being a curse.
:05:18. > :05:24.conditions like these so-called iPad shoulder or iPad hand, which
:05:24. > :05:33.could equally present themselves with any brand of Talbott, are
:05:33. > :05:39.issues. The I. -- these devices are not heavy but if you hold them for
:05:39. > :05:45.long enough, you can feel the strain. IPad shoulder is because it
:05:45. > :05:51.is a hand-held device. For maximum visualisation, we tend to sit up
:05:51. > :05:56.with the pad down at waist level. It is not the right way to do it.
:05:56. > :06:01.It is not the shoulder that is affected, it is the neck. The neck
:06:01. > :06:07.becomes really flexed. It pulls on the now at the top of the shoulder
:06:07. > :06:12.and redevelop this terrible aching pain. It is what we call
:06:12. > :06:17.periscapular pain. The postural issues are similar to those posed
:06:17. > :06:23.by tablets for phones. Manufacturers realise we need to be
:06:23. > :06:29.careful. Anyone who actually reads the manual has been warned. After

:06:33. > :06:39.devices are closely monitored before they make it into the hands
:06:39. > :06:44.of consumers. And I think people probably did expect sums to be used.
:06:44. > :06:49.I do not think they realised how extensively they would be used. --

:06:55. > :07:00.with a crooked angle. If you are stretching them across the screen,
:07:00. > :07:06.it is quite unnatural and they are over-used. If you love to text or

:07:29. > :07:33.very frequently and the eye can dry quite severely. If this is not
