| Abstract Background: Computer users with a long daily duration of computer use experienced musculoskeletal and neural symptoms. Aim of Study: To examine the possible effect of grasping the computer mouse on median nerve conduction velocity in computer users. Material and Methods: Forty adult computer users of both genders participated in this study. Their age ranged from 20 to 45 years old and they were using computer as a basic agent in their work. The computer users assigned in to two groups: Group A: Twenty participants using computer from 2 to 4 years and Group B: Twenty participants using computer from 5 to 7 year. The Median nerve conduction velocity of both dominant and non-dominant hands of both groups was measured. Results: There is a great effect of using computer mouse on median nerve conduction velocity in computer users. Conclusion: Using the computer mouse for a long time affect the median nerve conduction velocity in computer users. | ||
