this week's cover

This Week
July 3-10, 1996

Cover
Tunnel Vision: In trying to find
the perfect ergonomic standard,
doctors have come to believe
that the root causes of so-called
cumulative trauma disorders--
carpal tunnel syndrome,
repetitive strain injury and
tendinitis--may not be keyboards after all. After a decade of treatment and study, the science of preventing the disability du jour for tech workers is no further along than when it started.
