Dse Assessment for a lady with diagnosed tendonitus in the shoulder and RSI in the arm
Medical History
The client is suffering with diagnosed tendonitis in her shoulder and with a possible RSI in her arm and wrist which really needs to be properly diagnosed. It is likely that the symptoms experienced in the wrist are part of what would be termed a Cummulative Trauma Disorder. This means that the pain in the wrist is probably linked to the pain in the shoulder as the upper limbs are currently receiving poor support with no arms to rest on and this puts trauma on the vulnerable wrist area as the client uses the work surface to rest on.
The Client told me that her main areas of pain are the wrist, arm, across the shoulders and up the neck to the base of the skull. She has been using ibuprofen gel (which is an AI) and co-dydramol in tablet form which is an opiod that stimulates endorphins (the body’s natural pain killers).
Anatomical Measurements required
The Client is 5ft 8 tall sitting at a desk height of 720 mm which is within the scale measure for her height.
Her seat height to the top of the pad was 530 mm
Her seat depth was 470 mm with a width of 480 mm
The measurement from the back of her knee to the back of her buttock is 560 mm so the seat is a little on the small size for someone that has such long upper legs. Again the client measures 480 mm across the hips when seated so the chair is only just supporting her . Sitting to the extent or beyond the extent of a chair can restrict blood flow.
The keyboard was 15cm from the front of the desk to the front of the keyboard and I would always bring this forward as it means that the support for the upper limb is on the desk rather than closer to the torso.
The client is prone to tucking her legs underneath her, probably due to the seat pad being small, I have advised about a better working posture sat back into the chair.
I have recommended an Axia Pro Operator chair with 8N multifunctional arms for the client to trial. The Axia pro has unique pelvic support which will keep the client moving constantly in a dynamic working action rather than sitting in more static positions that can lead to static muscle strain. The arms on the chair are fully multifunctional and will adjust to support the client’s arms and help take the pressure off her shoulders , Most importantly we can use the chair to develop a better working posture where the body weight is supported sat back into the chair.
I would like the client to try using a docuglide which would help act as both an in-line document holder and a writing slope. It would mean that she would work in a straight line and when writing in front of the computer it will bring her neck up and sit her back in the chair more which will again take the strain off of her neck.
General Recommendations
I have recommended that client doesn’t do any lifting or indeed carrying with her right arm.
I have suggested using the footrest she has as a focus to make sure her feet stay out in front of her.
If after setting up the new chair we need to adjust the desk we can do so (height)
Rest is the best cure for RSI
Make sure when using the Orbit trackball that the wrist is straight on and that upper limbs are supported as close to the torso as possible.
