Lifestyle and Wellness: Don't Lose Your Job to RSI

Posted by:gracepub 1421 days ago • Discuss • http://lifestyleandwellness.blogspot.com

In medical terms, repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) caused by prolonged repetitive, awkward hand movements that damage muscles, tendons, and nerves of the neck, shoulder, forearm, and hand, causing pain, weakness, numbness, or impairment of movement. It can be caused by working long periods at a computer, either in a chair with poor support, no foot rest, and using a square or small keyboard.
