There was strong evidence for one intervention category , resistance training , leading to the recommendation : Implementing a workplace-based resistance training exercise programme can help prevent and manage UEMSD and symptoms .
The synthesis also revealed moderate evidence for stretching programmes , mouse use feedback and forearm supports in preventing UEMSD or symptoms .
There was also moderate evidence for no benefit for EMG biofeedback , job stress management training , and office workstation adjustment for UEMSD and symptoms .
The burden of disabling musculoskeletal pain and injuries ( musculoskeletal disorders , MSDs ) arising from work-related causes in many workplaces remains substantial .
There is little consensus on the most appropriate interventions for MSDs .
Our objective was to up date a systematic review of workplace-based interventions for preventing and managing  upper extremity MSD ( UEMSD ) .
The effect of a feedback signal in a computer mouse on hovering behaviour, productivity, comfort and usability in a field study
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a tactile feedback signal on hovering behaviour , productivity , usability and comfort after 1 week of using an experimental mouse .  In a r and omized controlled trial , a regular computer mouse was compared to a new developed mouse with a tactile , vibrating feedback signal to prevent unnecessary hovering above the computer mouse . According to this study , participants do decrease their hovering behaviour when using a mouse with tactile feedback . Furthermore , the mouse with tactile feedback did not influence productivity . Usability was rated somewhat mixed . The use of a mouse with a tactile vibrating feedback signal seems promising for preventing neck , shoulder and arm complaints . Further research is needed to study long-term effects on ( prevention of ) neck , shoulder and arm complaints and development of learning effects
