Abstract Background: A computer has become a vital part of this technological world. The part associated with computers is the mouse, which directly affects the work and fatigue of the users. Bankers are responsible for working 8 to 10 hours daily, maintaining static posture for a longer time, using a computer, handling a mouse, working over the counter, typing on a keyboard, causing overuse of the upper extremity, and neck and thus causing micro trauma to the structures, leading to pain. This type of professional disease occurs due to excessive work at the computer or excessive use of keyboards and the computer mouse.
Objective: This observational study was conducted to study the prevalence of shoulder pain due to continuous handling of a mouse in bankers of the public and private sectors.
Methods: 100 bankers between the age group of 30 to 45 years were assessed using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) Scale.
Results: The mean total SPADI percentage was 35.2 ± 16.5, indicating a moderate level of shoulder pain and disability among the participants. The mean pain percentage (39.9 ± 17.9) was higher than the mean disability percentage (32.3 ± 16.6), suggesting that discomfort was more pronounced than functional limitation. The findings demonstrate a notable prevalence of mouse-related shoulder pain among bankers, predominantly associated with prolonged working hours, minimal rest breaks, and inadequate ergonomic support.
Conclusion: The study identifies a high prevalence of shoulder pain among bankers, which suggests that prolonged computer use and poor ergonomic practices contribute significantly to the development of mouse shoulder.
