Abstract

Background:  The words "Mouse Arm Syndrome" and "Mouse Arm," in colloquial usage, have evolved to refer to the most prevalent pains, discomforts, and hand, arm, and shoulder issues that computer workers encounter, which are exacerbated or brought on by prolonged use of computer mice. Strangely enough, several western societies continue to debate the problem of repetitive motions and static muscular tension as potential causes of repetitive stress injury (RSI). It has been demonstrated that dragging tasks with a mouse raise carpal tunnel pressure by around 67% when compared to resting posture. Mouse arm syndrome manifests as a stiff wrist, pain, tingling, and burning. It happens when extensive periods of time are spent doing repetitive, continuous movements. This results in microscopic wounds, or microtraumas, which accumulate over time to create a syndrome that can severely limit people who are impacted.
Material and methods :  This was an Quasi experimental study. The sample consisted of 20 participants with mouse arm syndrome including both male and female, participated in the study. The grip strength and upper limb mobility were assessed by dynamometer and DASH questionnaire respectively. The pre and post test was done and data was recorded.
Resullt : Since p value is less than 0.05 it is significant  So we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis that nerve gliding technique and upper limb mobility ecercise produce a significant effect on grip strength and upper limb mobility among mouse arm syndrome.
Conclusion: This study results indicating that there is a significant change in participants with mouse arm syndrome.
