Prevalence of upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders in college students (original) (raw)

The American Journal of Medicine, 2000

Abstract

Upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders are the fastest growing source of disability in the US workplace (1,2), affecting workers of all ages, including those less than 25 years old (3). Computer work for 4 or more hours per day doubles the risk of these disorders (4). The association of upper extremity disorders with prolonged computer work and their emergence in younger workers (3) suggest that college students may also be at risk.
