professionally engaged in the treatment and rehabilitation of IT employees
Any profession is characterized by certain occupational or occupationally related diseases. Professions related to the use of technical means in IT technologies are no exception. "Computer" diseases, as well as the industry that caused their appearance, are still quite young and poorly studied. Thus, when using computers, the most at risk are the organs of vision, musculoskeletal system, reproductive function, central nervous system. In addition, computer users are affected by a whole range of factors of low intensity, the negative effect of which is manifested gradually and secretly. Therefore, diseases appear only after many months or even years of work, when it is extremely difficult to fight them.
