Abstract

Objective: to determine the relationship between the occurrence of wrist tendinitis and the use of non-ergonomic mouse in the administrative staff of the Hospital General Docente Ambato - Ecuador. Methods: Descriptive observational study. Results and conclusions: The relationship between the use of a non-ergonomic mouse and wrist pain and therefore the appearance of tendinitis in health personnel has not been proven. With the Rula method we are demanding a greater commitment to the study of the workstations and their redesign in 75% of the administrative personnel, since only 9% maintain an acceptable risk in their workstation and 16% merit a redesign of their workstation, that is, a change of mouse, in order to have a more in-depth study we need to carry out a study with personnel who use ergonomic mice.
