STEP ON IT! Pedals: Repetitive Strain Injury
Though the company avoids suggesting that its product prevents repetitive strain injuries, it is selling these keyboards at a rate of 1 million per year.

Extractions: Keyboard shortcuts instead of mouse Computing can sometimes be a real "pain-in-the-neck" ... but more particularly in the hands, wrists, and arms! From the heavy-duty professional user at work, to the happy "gamer" at home, constant, repetitive use of a computer keyboard can lead directly to a severe case of "RSI", or Repetitive Strain Injury. Many typists already suffering from this condition report that it is painful to press the and keys. Avoiding these keys by using the pedals should bring some relief from pain. Some RSI sufferers complain about mice, and mouse clicking in particular. Though STEP ON IT! pedals cannot emulate all mouse functions, they can emulate mouse button clicks. You would still need to position the cursor with the mouse, or an alternative pointing device, such as a trackball, touchpad, J-mouse, headmouse, joystick, or a tablet.

Search Guitar Repetitive Strain Injury - The Importance of Warming Up Believe it or not, the act of playing guitar is not a healthy one for the body. Repetitive movement of the picking hand, and the fretting hand, can cause serious damage to the body over long periods of time. This condition, known as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) , not only affects guitarists and other instrumentalists - although musicians tend to be extremely susceptible to RSI . Many guitarists have experienced mild or serious cases of Repetitive Strain Injuries like Cubital Tunnel Syndrome or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at some point in their lives. Although not all RSI can be avoided, properly warming up before one touches their guitar can seriously reduce the possibility of common repetitive strain injuries associated with playing the guitar. Athletes invariably stretch before any serious physical exertion - why should guitarists behave any differently? A webpage displaying a series of Stretching Exercises provides illustrated examples of quick and relatively effortless warm up activities designed to limber up muscles, helping to reduce the risk of injury.

These disorders can affect both upper and lower limbs including the shoulders and neck, the wrist, elbows and knees, and can be caused by work involving awkward postures and movements or of a highly repetitive or fast-paced nature (see Agency report Workrelated neck and upper limb musculoskeletal disorders). This fact sheet highlights the findings of a new European Agency report, Repetitive Strain Injuries in the Member States of the European Union, and is based on the results of a survey questionnaire distributed in 1999. It was carried out at the request of the Dutch Ministry for Social Affairs and Employment who wanted to know how different European countries define and measure the âRSIâ problem and the types of policies and actions they have in place to tackle it.

http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/030812/d030812b.htm

Extractions: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 One out of every 10 Canadian adults had a repetitive strain injury (RSI) serious enough to limit their normal activities in 2000/01, according to a new study published today in Health reports , which shows that RSIs are affecting a growing number of adults. An estimated 2.3 million people aged 20 or older reported having had an RSI at some point in the 12 months prior to their participation in the Canadian Community Health Survey, for which data collection began in September 2000. This marked an increase in the prevalence of RSIs during the late 1990s. In 1996/97, 8% of adults reported the problem, according to the National Population Health Survey. The proportion hit 10% in 2000/01. Work-related activities were most often the cause. Repetitive strain injury is an umbrella term for a group of disorders usually caused by repetitive movements that affect the muscles, tendons and nerves. Unlike other injuries, which occur at a single point in time, RSIs develop over an extended period. In 2000/01, men and women were almost equally likely to report an RSI, although since 1996/97, the percentage of women sustaining such injuries rose faster than the percentage of men. For women, the increase was from 7.9% to 10.3%, compared with an increase from 8.2% to 9.9% for men.

Treatment For Repetitive Strain Injury
Since repetitive strain injuries are essentially the result of doing more than the body can handle, many doctors say the best chance for recovery lies in
http://my.webmd.com/content/article/13/1691_50162

Extractions: WebMD Feature Archive Feb. 21, 2000 (Washington) While companies can adjust workstations and reassign tasks to reduce employee injuries, treating an injury once it occurs is not nearly as easy. For instance, computer-related repetitive strain injury, caught early enough, can be remedied or controlled with physical therapy, education about posture and body mechanics, and sometimes, time away from the keyboard. But if an employee keeps working without making such changes, he or she can wind up so disabled that performing even simple tasks like cooking, gardening, picking up a baby, or carrying groceries becomes difficult. Even if the problem never reaches that point, some employees are never able to return to their full capacity. "Repetitive stress is essentially an overuse problem," says Russell E. Windsor, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. "What happens is you usually end up tearing muscle fibers and they get to a point where they fatigue and, due to the repetitive motion, cannot recover.''

Interview: The Facts About Repetitive Strain Injuries
The Facts About repetitive strain injuries An interview with Scott Wright, Webmaster and Primary Caretaker of the Typing Injury FAQ. Introduction.
http://www.webword.com/interviews/wright.html

Extractions: Introduction What is the Typing Injury FAQ? What is your role? The Typing Injury FAQ (TIFAQ) was created by Dan Wallach, an undergraduate computer sciences major that started to experience repetitive strain injury (RSI) symptoms in the early 1990s. He collected information and posted it online as a newsgroup FAQ (frequently asked questions)until the Web became popular and it was converted to a website. Since then, the TIFAQ has evolved into a repository of information about RSIs, resources for dealing with these ailments, and assistive products to reduce injury risk and symptoms. While its primary focus is on computer users at risk of injury, there is lots of information of general interest that relates to other life activities as well. My role with the TIFAQ website is what I'd call content development and webmastering. I became actively involved with the TIFAQ after I had completed my masters thesis on alternative keyboards and offered to help update some of its old information. As Dan was working to complete his Ph.D. in computer sciences, he was looking for someone to take over maintenance of the TIFAQwhich I eventually ended up doing. Currently the TIFAQ has become a publication of the CTD Resource Network, Inc.a new California nonprofit organization formed to provide educational and charitable services to the RSI community.

This document introduces briefly the particular view of AbilityNet on this complex and controversial subject and explains how the services we offer can help. RSI is the term most commonly used to group together a variety of conditions associated with repeated activities. There are differing views on what causes it and, indeed, on whether it is a separately identifiable medical condition. This gives rise to a great deal of debate. Our main aim is not to participate in these debates but simply to help the people involved to positive outcomes. AbilityNet is a registered charity dealing with computing and disability. We have experience and expertise is in the use of alternative and adaptive techniques for computer use. Our advice is independent. Our concern is for anyone whose ability to function and express themselves seems limited by any temporary or permanent disability, whatever its cause. Our basic approach is to see if any of the many Repetitive Strain Injury alternative input techniques available for standard computers might enable that function to be continued or recovered. We have acquired a great deal of experience by working with individual computer users with RSI in detail and in depth. This practical and pragmatic knowledge is the basis for our specialist services in the "RSI" field.

Extractions: Repetitive strain injuries have received a lot of attention recently. It is common to read about "carpal tunnel syndrome," "repetitive strain injury" or "ergonomics" in newspapers or magazines. These terms are used in advertising for chairs, tools and workstations. What are repetitive strain injuries? A repetitive strain injury, or RSI, is an injury to the musculoskeletal system - the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles in our body. But, unlike breaking a bone after a fall from a ladder, RSIs develop slowly, as a result of repeated microtrauma to a specific part of the musculoskeletal system, hence the term "repetitive strain." For example, carpal tunnel syndrome, otherwise known as "writer's cramp" is an increasingly common RSI. It is a nerve disorder affecting the hand, but the problem starts at the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow channel formed by the bones of the wrist and the carpal ligament. Running through this tunnel are nerves, tendons, and other blood vessels. One of these nerves performs a special function by supplying sensation to the palm and fingers. If the tunnel becomes overcrowded, by way of tendon inflammation for example, the median nerve is pinched. This leads to tingling and often painful sensations in the palm and fingers of the hand.
