Manipulative play activities should include toys which encourage the use of the finger and wrist muscles. These signals were then routed in real-time to a computer, and from there through a stimulator to another set of electrodes attached directly to wrist muscles that had been artificially blocked further up the arm along the normal neural pathway. The Cornell University Human Factors and Ergonomics Research Group advises computer users to select a mouse that fits the shape of the entire hand and, according to research by Cornell, the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety, and other sources, a large mouse encourages the user to employ larger arm muscles rather than small wrist muscles, which are more likely to develop musculoskeletal disorders. |
