PTCL Safety Glossary: Repetitive Strain Injury The term Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) refers to a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis or tendonitis. Such injuries are often also referred to as Work-related Upper Limb Disorders, Occupational Overuse Injuries, or Cumulative Trauma Disorders, but there is no suggestion that such problems can arise only in the workplace - they can equally well arise through activities performed in the home. RSI has become much more prominent with the rapid rise in computer user, which has resulted in many people complaining of hand, neck and arm problems. However, other activities, such as repetitive use of a pipettor or the playing of a musical instrument may also give rise to symptoms. RSI is potentially a very serious problem, and employers are under a legal obligation to minimize the risk of employees developing RSI.

KidsHealth Teens Michael takes as many English courses as his schedule allows and writes science fiction stories in his spare time.

This keyboard was invented to rehabilitate R.S.I sufferers and is proven and used by many typists to lessen the risk of contracting tendon strain. The ergonomic design of this board and its many imitators allow keystrokes to be achieved without the excessive bending and flexing of the hands, wrists and arms when typing constantly in a production situation. By allowing the wrists to rest between input decisions and momentary rest times the patented pattern of the keyboard can be measurably beneficial.

home catalogue search downloads ... Articles on Special Needs and IT RSI - Repetitive Strain Injury A term used to describe muscular pains and difficulties caused by carrying out repetitive tasks for long periods. These conditions are frequently attributed to working on computer systems, although this type of injury is not new, as in housemaids-knee or tennis elbow. The computer has made it possible for someone to work all day at a keyboard without varying their pattern of movement significantly, not even having to change paper or get up to go to a filing cabinet. The avoidance of this type of situation requires careful study of work patterns, building in a sufficient degree of variation. Problems can also be avoided by creating a good working environment with correct seating , lighting and equipment positioning. Advice is available on the importance of seating and positioning. If someone with RSI still needs to access a computer there are various modifications that can help them. Tiredness and strain can be alleviated by using wrist rests and arm supports (from QED ), hand and finger movement reduced with an

Most parents seem unaware of the possible dangers of children sitting for long periods unsupported, with necks twisted and wrists over extended Professor Peter Buckle But computers, keyboards, the mouse, and the furniture rarely take into account the size of children. Professor Peter Buckle, of the Robens Centre for Health Ergonomics at the University of Surrey, UK, said this was bound to cause problems. Repetitive strain injury was a particular risk, particularly as children's muscles and bones are still developing. "Most parents wouldn't, for example, have an eight-year-old using a full size cricket bat or an adult bicycle but seem unaware of the possible dangers of children sitting for long periods unsupported, with necks twisted and wrists over extended."

This is the most comprehensive book I have ever read on repetitive strain injuries. I have been suffering from various RSIs in my wrists/elbows/arms for about a year now, and was very frustrated that none of the numerous doctors I saw seemed to be able to help me, or even understood what was wrong with me. Just one chapter into the book, I felt a great sense of relief that the author *understands* not only the injury, but the frustration and anger that patients suffer. There are detailed descriptions of the various types of RSIs, how they are caused, and what you can do about correcting the problems that caused them in the first place. Along with this are valuable instructions on workplace ergonomics, suggestions for helpful ways to make everyday life easier, pain management, and a resource guide at the end of the book, with suppliers of helpful tools as well as legal resources if your injury is work-related. An excellent book, I highly recommend it.

Theres a chapter on how to have a sex life despite RSI, how to sue for loss of a career, the testimonial of a man who was paralysed from the waist down but found RSI more disabling etc - but nothing concrete about what RSI actually. OK, so now I know that if I have tendonitis Im more likely to get carpal tunnel syndrome and the rest of them but this book doesnt give me information on what tendonitis (or the others) actually is or how to make much of a change. There are quick mentions of various treatments but there is no discussion of their relative merits. The author tells us about her own exercise program (30-40 minutes a morning with weights and 1 1/2 hours of ballet four times a week plus walking and stretching) but there are no specific exercises that can help you avoid recurrance or assist in healing.
