Advances display screens (VDU ) and their use in digital computers and mobile telephony, among many applications , are extraordinary in both the technical improvement and optimization of its functions. These achievements should be used with logic and reasoning. Its misuse may be the cause of many disturbances or organic deformites changes and subsequently work disabilities. The most investigated are deformities of the spine: hyperkyphosis; hyperlordosis and
called black flat on which there is a decrease in the lumbar curvature and disorder functions. All these alterations, caused by faulty postures they assume users are manifested with cervicalgia (neck pain) and medium to long term with osteoarthritis (degeneration of cartilage). Another documented and studied alterations is the carpal tunnel syndrome, which is caused by increased pressure inside on the channel in the
course of inflammation of the tendons of the flexor muscles that compress the median nerve in it passes through channel and is manifested with diffuse pain, paresthesia, hypoesthesia or anesthesia of the hand. Improper application of the computer keyboard, inappropriate and excessive use of tools (internet, mobile phone and VDU) and repetitive hand movements can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. The well oriented education and primary prevention could reduce the organic and functional alterations caused by overuse of the display screens of data.
