Poor ergonomics in healthcare technology environments is commonly associated with musculoskeletal strain, visual discomfort, and cognitive overload resulting from poorly designed workstations and systems. Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) is directly linked to improper keyboard positioning, repetitive mouse use, awkward wrist angles, and prolonged data entry—common issues in clinical documentation workflows. Computer Vision Syndrome is also ergonomics-related and results from extended screen time, glare, improper monitor height, and inadequate lighting, leading to eye strain, headaches, and blurred vision. Alert fatigue , while more cognitive than physical, is associated with human–computer interaction and system design; excessive or poorly configured clinical decision support alerts can overwhelm clinicians and reduce responsiveness, making it a recognized health IT usability concern.
In contrast, Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological condition characterized by uncomfortable sensations in the legs and an urge to move them, typically unrelated to workstation setup, repetitive motion, or display ergonomics. It is a medical condition not caused by poor ergonomic design in technology environments.
Therefore, among the listed options, Restless Leg Syndrome is not associated with poor ergonomics, making option D the correct answer.
