Denmark: recognized injuries caused by mice
computer

Open a hole in the Scandinavian country: after a study that lasted more than two
years
Danish Insurance Institute sees as occupational disease
four
cases of illness of tennis elbow.

In Denmark, four cases of illness of tennis elbow, for intense
and prolonged use of
computer mouse, have recently been declared as disease
professional. This
means that the four persons in question will receive compensation
Capital for the injuries
suffered at work. With this ruling, the Danish system differs from
practice in
Most European countries and the rest of the world where diseases
associated with the use of
computers are almost never recognized as occupational
because there are
sufficient evidence of their relationship with work.
Having recognized these four cases does not mean a
generally recognized and

manifestation of the disease can be considered only in

Recognition of the four cases by dell'Arbejdsskadestyrelsen
(Insurance Institute
