Summary of Repetitive Strain Injury: A Computer User's Guide
A unique Seven-Point Program for the prevention and treatment of this progressive disease, consisting of rules for good postural alignment, exercises, pacing and managing pain. Will help people avoid injury altogether or aid them in their recovery process. All techniques described are inexpensive, effective, non-invasive and do not require the purchase of expensive special equipment. Includes helpful information on setting up a workstation, buying the right type of chair and selecting the correct keyboard.This book has become a bible for those suffering from RSI. It explains what to ask your doctor (and why) when you go in for a diagnosis; it also lists more than two dozen types of RSI and related conditions, from cervical radiculopathy to reflex sympathetic dysfunction to fibromyalgia. If these terms sound intimidating, then the book succeeds in bringing them down to clear, manageable definitions.
Quilter and Pascarelli also delineate the causes of RSI that are often unconsidered, including being obese, typing while cradling the phone with your shoulder, and having long fingernails. They don't discuss many of the different surgeries used for RSI but instead choose to discuss the various kinds of physical and occupational therapy treatments; acupuncture; stretching; vitamins and nutrition; relaxation techniques, deep tissue massage, and guided visualization. There's also an extensive list of helpful tricks for adapting to living with RSI, from making changes in the kitchen to re-learning how to drive.
This is also the RSI book if you?re looking for information on the psychological ramifications of RSI and how to handle both time off from work and the return to the office.
