Sitting and typing for extended periods of time is commonplace with the advent of personal computers and electronic means of correspondence.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT:

The office conditions are typical for an office environment with the occasional climate control system discomfort. The stress of using a computer, especially the stress on the hand and back muscles, can be problematic when performed for extended periods of time. The high volume of demanding clientele and meeting the goals continually enhancing the effectiveness of the program are added stresses.
