Jonathan Bailin, Ph.D. E-mail: RSI@USC.EDU http://www.netsci.org/Science/Special/feature01.html Introduction Welcome to MISC.HEALTH.INJURIES.RSI.MODERATED Version 2 FACT: More workers are injured using a computer keyboard in the US than any other tool for the workplace! My name is Dr. Jonathan Bailin. You can read more about me later. This article is part of the introduction to my moderated global usenet newsgroup which provides expert opinions about a group of injuries called Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). One severe form of RSI is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). As the previous fact points out, most RSI's are due to keyboard use. Please do not reproduce this FAQ without consulting me at RSI@USC.EDU. You may not change the content of the FAQ in any way but you may reformat it to better integrate it with your production media. *Any* FAQ information should not be used without confirming its validity and/or appropriateness. It may not be entirely correct or up to date. RSI sufferers should discuss all health matters with your attending health care practitioner. For those of you new to the topic of RSI, don't minimize its threat. It is a serious, and frequently career threatening, affliction. Early attention to it is usually critical. To conquer it, prepare to make behavioral and lifestyle changes as no best piece of equipment, technology, or magic bullet exists.

FOUR STEP ERGONOMICS PROGRAM FOR EMPLOYERS WITH VIDEO DISPLAY TERMINAL (VDT) OPERATORS Published to html on Friday, March 06, 1998 Ergonomics Program for Employers With VDT Operators Ergonomics and Your Competitive Edge A Competitive Edge In today's tough economic climate, the businesses that succeed are those that stay ahead of the competition. Ergonomic principles, effectively applied, can give businesses the competitive edge they need by maximizing efficiency, increasing productivity and enhancing product and service quality. A well-implemented ergonomics program can do all of this and reduce workplace injuries and workers compensation costs. A Management Tool Ergonomics is a state-of-the-art management tool for arriving at the best possible fit between your employees and the work they do. This means designing work activities and equipment to maximize efficiency. The better the fit, the greater your organizational effectiveness, the lower your rate of injury, and the closer you are to realizing your business objectives. A Team Effort Ergonomics can also be the starting point for employee involvement in a program of "continuous improvement" of your business. Employees who participate in an ergonomics program have higher morale, see their own benefit in the success of the company, and want their "team" to be the best!

Ergonomics Laboratory - Rush Medical Center This laboratory analyzes the body's biomechanical response to variety of occupational tasks, investigates and implements potential workplace interventions; and develops models predictive of back injury development and recovery. http://www.ortho.rush.edu/ergonomics/

Mission Statement Our goal is to improve the physical interaction between workers, their work, and the work environment through the study of the musculoskeletal system's response to work activities. In so doing our focus continues to be the study of body's biomechanical response to a variety of occupational tasks, potential workplace interventions, and the development of models predictive of back injury development and recovery. Steve Lavender, Ph.D., CPE Gunnar Andersson, M.D., Ph.D. Raghu Natarajan, Ph.D. Eric Lorenz, M.S. Current Research The LiftTrainer Study The LiftTrainer is a behaviorally oriented approach to training lifting techniques. By using a combination of biofeedback, biomechanical analysis tools, and one on one coaching, the LiftTrainer protocol guide individuals towards lifting behaviors that lower the forward bending, lateral bending, and twisting moments ("stresses") acting on the spine while maintaining desired productively levels. RPSLMC Nursing bed transfer Currently, we are working with Rush University's Department of Nursing to measure the stresses exerted on the nurse's spine during patient transfers from hospital bed to wheelchair. Without reengineering the task itself, we hope additionally to train current nursing students to perform this routine task in a way that mimimizes their own risk of back injuries. Low Back Disorder Risk In Manufacturing Environments Our efforts with the United Auto Workers and General Motors have been focused on evaluating the recovery process from occupationally related low back disorders. In so doing we have evaluated measures of health outcomes and alternative approaches to classifying job low back disorder risk. We are currently performing a longitudinal study of over 300 employees who have experienced work-related back injury.
