“…Ergonomske prilagoditve zmanjšujejo pojav bolečine, poškodb in povečajo produktivnost (Allaire idr., 2013). Pri uporabnikih z okvarami zgornjih udov sta edukacija in prilagojena uporaba zgornjega uda enako ali bolj pomembni kot fizične adaptacije s prilagojenimi pripomočki (Meals in Koenigsberg, 2015).…”

“…Računalniško delo povečuje možnosti nastanka SZP, zato je za namen varovanja struktur ZP priporočena uporaba ergonomsko oblikovane tipkovnice in računalniške miške (Goldfarb, 2016;Cooper, 2014). Razbremenitev zapestja se lahko doseže tudi z uporabo dveh različnih tipkovnic in mišk, ki se jih tekom uporabe intervalno menjuje (Meals in Koenigsberg, 2015). Uporaba ergonomsko oblikovanih pripomočkov ne vpliva le na varovanje telesnih struktur, temveč izboljša tudi produktivnost in udobje pri delu (Leyshon idr., 2010).…”

“…Vertical mouse reduces pronation of the forearm and dorsal wrist flexion, which reduces static median nerve pressure (Goldfarb, 2016;Cooper, 2014). Ergonomic keyboard reduces pronation of the forearm and dorsal wrist flexion, and also moves hands and forearms further from each other, and hence reduces ulnar deviation at the wrist and internal rotation of the shoulder (Meals and Koenigsberg, 2015).…”

Sindrom zapestnega prehoda je utesnitvena nevropatija. Povzroči jo mehanski dinamični pritisk živca na določenem mestu. Ob zgodnjem diagnosticiranju se težave odpravljajo s pomočjo konzervativnega zdravljenja. Med učinkovite delovnoterapevtskeintervencije spadajo: edukacija uporabnika o pravilni uporabi zgornjega uda med izvajanjem aktivnosti, spoznavanje ergonomskih načel in prilagoditev ter uporaba nočne opornice za zapestje. Članek predstavlja splošen pregled informacij, pomembnih tekom rehabilitacije sindroma zapestnega prehoda. Namen je bil ugotoviti, pri katerih dnevnih aktivnostih imajo uporabniki s sindromom zapestnega prehoda največ težav, ter jih seznaniti s pravilno rabo zgornjega uda in prilagojenim izvajanjem dnevnih aktivnosti. Na Univerzitetnem rehabilitacijskem inštitutu – Soča smo tekom ustaljene obravnave dodali edukacijski pristop. Izdelali smo navodila za prilagojeno uporabo zgornjega uda pri vsakodnevnih aktivnostih. Za preverjanje upoštevanja navodil smo izdelali vprašalnik upoštevanja navodil za preprečevanje simptomov sindroma zapestnega prehoda.

Purpose To explore and describe therapeutic approaches for the prevention of upper limb (UL) repetitive strain injuries (RSI) amongst computer users in the twenty-first century. Methods A scoping review was conducted using the method described by Arksey and O’Malley, further enhanced by Levac et al. to ensure rigor, validity and reliability during analysis. Key concepts pertaining to the research question have been mapped, following comprehensive searches of relevant electronic databases namely EBSCOHost (Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, eBook Collection, E-Journals, Health Source-Consumer Edition, Health Sources—Nursing/Academic Edition and MEDLINE), PUBMED and Google Scholar. The identified studies have been presented in a descriptive numerical summary to address the research aim. Results From the 577 studies initially identified, 58 studies were eligible for inclusion in the scoping review after abstract and full text screening. Strategies for the prevention of UL RSIs in computer users were categorised into overarching types of intervention as well as the factors which contribute towards sustained implementation of prevention strategies. Using ergonomic equipment was the most prevalent approach during intervention, breaks and rest periods were found to be the less common intervention offered to prevent RSIs. The majority of the studies noted personal worksite adjustments, including adjustments of the chair, back rest, lumbar support, handles or any arm support to the individual as a strategy to prevent UL RSIs. In high income countries the use of ergonomic equipment was the most common type of approach during intervention, in middle income countries stretches were the most common therapeutic intervention strategy and in low-income countries there was an even distribution between a number of different therapeutic interventions aimed at preventing RSIs. Conclusions The review provides an overview of approaches and a comprehensive baseline for identifying further research required to generate prevention approaches. The information within the review may be used to impact company practice, policy and decision making in terms of developing prevention strategies.
