Abstract


PERSEU is a computational tool that aims to help (Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders/Repetitive Stress Injuries) resulting from continuous computer use. PERSEU seeks to promote a better interaction between man and computer, because the problems related to Musculoskeletal Musculoskeletal Disorders have become increasingly common among computer users computer users, reaching cases of paralysis of the user's limbs and joints. of the user. Therefore, in a simple and effective way, the tool proposes pauses and exercises during the computational activity, thus making this interaction less harmful to the human body.
Keywords: Computer Tool, MSD Prevention, Continuous Computer Use
