Telephone use while performing other
activities has been the cause of shoulder and neck problems. A frequent mistake is to
place the telephone receiver between the head and shoulder while freeing up the hand to
write, type, or perform some other task.
Where additional activities are performed while on the telephone,
headsets should be used to reduce neck and shoulder stress. Padded phone rests also help,
but headsets are generally better.
Some office workers have also been observed with a "death
grip" on the telephone receiver and a bent wrist. A minimum of force should be used
in holding the telephone and all activities should be performed with as neutral a wrist
posture as possible.
