RSI

Repetitive strain injury (RSI) (also known as repetitive stress injury, repetitive motion injuries, repetitive motion disorder (RMD), cumulative trauma disorder (CT), occupational overuse syndrome, overuse syndrome, regional musculoskeletal disorder) is an injury of the musculoskeletal and nervous system  that may be caused by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression (pressing against hard surfaces), or sustained or awkward positions

Have you ever noticed the labels manufactures place on products that may cause these injuries?  Now that you have read the definition let’s talk about labeling on devices we use daily.  It may say on the bottom keyboard or in the owner’s manual that over usage may cause RSI. I am not saying don’t use these products just be sure to take preventive measures to avoid any problems.  I also read one of these when I purchased a new smart phone, being a male I never read instructions. But upon arriving home I opened a small manual that, to no surprise, was a paragraph explaining that over use of this product may cause RSI. These devises are here to stay. We all need to recognize the problem before they can occur, especially the younger generation that is exposed to repetitive use at a young age.
