The objective of this study was to analyze the use of non-ergonomic mice by administrative personnel at the Hospital General Docente Ambato - Ecuador. The study is descriptive. 83.6% of the personnel studied maintained a seated position, well supported and with a trunk-hip angle greater than 90°. The majority of the personnel under study, 76.4%, remained seated with legs and feet well supported. 16.4% stand with their weight symmetrically distributed and space to change position. Women suffer a higher proportion of carpal tunnel syndrome. Considering that work performed in a seated position, although it does not require much physical effort, can be the cause of many musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), especially when performed for a long time and in an incorrect position.
