Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) - How To Avoid Them
A list of stretching exercises you can do to avoid repetitive strain injuries or to reduce the inflammation.
http://www.globalideasbank.org/BI/BI-105.HTML

Extractions: The following are some stretching exercises you can do to avoid repetitive strain injuries or to reduce the inflammation (along with proper work station set-up and posture). (1) Extend your fingers until you feel tension in the stretch. Hold for ten seconds, then bend your fingers at the knuckles (do not clench your fist). Hold this position for ten seconds, then release. Repeat once. (2) Raise an elbow to the top of your head, forearm dangling behind your head. Grab the elbow with the other hand and pull down toward the back of the neck. Repeat on the other side. (3) Clasp your hands behind your head. Sitting upright, stretch your elbows backward and hold the stretch. (4) Sitting upright in your chair, clasp your hands behind your chair back. Straighten your arms as much as possible and raise your hands toward the ceiling. (5) Reach over your head to the opposite ear. Gently pull your head toward your shoulder; hold for ten seconds, then repeat on the other side. (6) Roll your shoulders forward, up, back, then down, making the largest circles possible. Repeat in the other direction. These last two stretch the shoulder and neck muscles, which can tighten and cause problems with our arms, as well as cause tension headaches.

http://web.mit.edu/is/pubs/is-13/rsi.html

Extractions: Table of contents Causes of repetitive strain injuries Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) are a category of injuries involving damage to muscles, tendons and nerves caused by overuse or misuse. Any combination of the following factors can lead to the overuse of some part of your body. Unlike strains and sprains, which usually result from a single incident (called acute trauma), repetitive strain injuries develop slowly over time; thus, they are also called Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs). Other names for these injuries include Repetitive Stress Injury, Repetitive Motion Syndrome and Occupational Overuse Syndrome.

Extractions: Home Resources FAQ Contact Us About This Site RSI stands for Repetitive Strain Injury . It is used as an umbrella term to refer to various kinds of work-related musculoskeletal injuries - for instance, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, bursitis, epicondylitis, and others. Such injuries are also known as Cumulative Trauma Disorders CTD s), Work-Related Upper Limb Disorders WRULD s), and Occupational Overuse Injuries . Doctors and other healthcare professionals tend not to use these shorthand terms, but instead refer to the problems by their separate and specific names, e.g. tendonitis. If you think that you may have RSI problems - if your hands hurt or tingle, or if you get pain in your elbow, wrist, or shoulder - you should make an appointment to see your GP as soon as possible. The sooner you find out about it and do something about it, the better your chances of a full recovery. There is no single answer to RSI , but there are a lot of things that can help. Communicating with others who face the same problems, is one way to find out about some of those things. The national UK support organisation for RSI sufferers is the RSI Association . The RSIA can offer advice and information about the many different aspects of coping with RSI In many areas around the UK, there are also local support groups, whose members meet regularly and exchange experiences and information and offer one another mutual support.

Extractions: CTD: cumulative trauma disorder) De door de SKB (Stichting Kwaliteitsbevordering Bedrijfsgezondheidszorg) gehanteerde definitie luidt: Werkgebonden aandoeningen aan de bovenste ledematen (handen, pols, armen en schoudergordel) en nekregio, die gerelateerd zijn aan het uitvoeren van repeterende handelingen. Er zijn vele factoren die kunnen bijdragen aan het ontstaan van de klachten en het beeld kent een groot aantal verscijningsvormen. Slechts in ongeveer 10 - 20% van de gevallen van RSI kan er een "echte" diagnose worden gesteld. Meestal kan niet verder worden gekomen dan een beschrijving. Specifieke ziektebeelden zijn bijvoorbeeld het carpaal tunnel syndroom (CTS), de tennis- en de golferselleboog (epicondylitis lateralis resp. medialis). Het verdient mogelijk de voorkeur het begrip "RSI" te reserveren voor die gevallen waarin geen duidelijk diagnose kan worden gesteld. Klachten zoals pijn, gevoelloosheid, tintelingen, krachtsverlies, zwelling, crepiteren en een gestoorde coördinatie in de bovenste ledematen of nekstreek moeten doen denken aan RSI. Met name als deze klachten ontstaan en / of verergeren door bepaalde risicovolle activiteiten in de werk- of hobbysfeer, is RSI zeer waarschijnlijk.

Natural Life Magazine #40 - Protect Yourself From Repetitive Strain Injuries
Protect yourself from repetitive strain injuries.
http://www.life.ca/nl/40/rsi.html

Extractions: by Jeff Johnston Home business owners who work with computers for long periods are prone to repetitive injuries resulting from improper work habits and poor facility design. Many Natural Life readers are running or are setting up their own home-based businesses. Computers and other office and telecommunications equipment make this possible for thousands of people. However, this equipment, especially the computer, is causing physical problems known as repetitive strain injuries or cumulative trauma disorders for many people. These injuries include carpal tunnel syndrome in the hand, and tendonitis in the wrist and elbow. Rotator cuff tendonitis of the shoulder also occurs, but is less prevalent. Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) are caused, as the name suggests, by repeated use of the hands and arms. Our bodies were not designed to do the same tasks repeatedly for long periods. However, it is not the amount of use so much as the improper positioning of the hands and arms over that long period that causes the injuries. This combination of repetition and unnatural positions results in pain and irritation that, if ignored, can result in surgery and restricted use of the hand or arm. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) symptoms include tingling in the thumb and fingers (except the little finger), numbness and loss of sensitivity. CTS is caused by compression of the median nerve, which passes through the wrist and the carpal canal. The carpal canal, or tunnel, is created by an arch of wrist bones. The transverse carpal ligament, which stretches across the wrist on the palm side, closes the arch (see illustration below). Nine flexor tendons also run through the carpal tunnel. Repetitive flexion and extension of the hand cause the tissue on the tendons to enlarge. This exerts pressure on the nerve, which slows electrical conductivity, resulting in the symptoms noted above.

http://eeshop.unl.edu/rsi.html

Extractions: - Keith L. Moore, Clinically Oriented Anatomy As more and more work, education and recreation involves computers, everyone needs to be aware of the hazard of Repetitive Strain Injury to the hands and arms resulting from the use of computer keyboards and mice. This can be a serious and very painful condition that is far easier to prevent than to cure once contracted, and can occur even in young physically fit individuals. It is not uncommon for people to have to leave computer-dependent careers as a result, or even to be permanently disabled and unable to perform tasks such as driving or dressing themselves. I've faced this problem myself since March of 1994, and many friends are also affected to varying degrees. I am not a health care professional, but I hope on this page to provide a very brief introduction to RSI for the benefit of students who may not be aware of the potential for a life-altering injury. It includes book references and links to Internet resources that have been helpful in educating me about this. Don't hesitate to get in touch by e-mail, but because I have to limit my own computer use, please take the time to consult the entire page and the listed materials at length first.

Extractions: Maybe it's a nagging ache in your thumbs, every time you practice at the piano. Perhaps there have been long rehearsals for that crucial recital, and now you notice stabbing pains in your forearms. Or you find yourself struggling with hands that have become increasingly clumsy, or numb. It may be that you are even waking up at night with pain in your arms, or your back, or your neck. Well, it's just a part of being a serious musician, right? And after all, you can't stop practicing - there's too much at stake, and music is your very life! Does this sound familiar? Instrumental musicians are a special risk group for repetitive motion injuries. Sizable percentages of them develop physical problems related to playing their instruments; and if they are also computer users, their risks are compounded and complicated. My own computer-induced tendinitis was very much aggravated by my guitar and violin playing and did not begin to improve until I stopped all playing for several months. Instrumental injuries often include the same conditions experienced from computer overuse Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Tendinitis, Bursitis

Bibliography So there I was at my Mac, typing away at the Great American Novel. I was nursing my third bourbon, my contact was late, and my wisdom tooth was acting up again. A hush fell over the bar as a stunning blond appeared. Every eye in the place followed her. She swayed her hips suggestively as she sidled up to me at the bar. As casually as I could, I glanced her way. I clinked the ice in my glass - twice. I knew my contact's name was Alex, but I didn't realize "he" was a "she."; This changes everything, I thought. Suddenly a sharp, searing pain shot up my right arm. I completely forgot about Alex and her troubles and concentrated on mine. I clutched my arm, massaged it a bit, and kept on typing (mistake). I ended up in the emergency room and found that I probably had an RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury). The doctor prescribed ice packs, rest, and a double dose of Aleve. Since that fateful day in late December last year, I've learned a lot about RSI. I've seen a specialist, undergone physical therapy, and have improved to the point where I can type for short periods. I'd like to share what I've learned, in the hope that you can avoid the same experience.

http://web.mit.edu/atic/www/rsi/mitrsi.htm

Extractions: What is an RSI? Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) are injuries involving damage to muscles, tendons and nerves caused by overuse or misuse. They most commonly affect the hands, wrists, elbows, arms, shoulders, back, or neck. Unlike strains and sprains, which usually result from a single incident (called acute trauma), repetitive strain injuries develop slowly over time; thus, they are also called Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD) or Muscular Skeletal Disorders (MSD). Who is at risk? The majority of RSIs are related to computer use, though other repetitive work tasks, such as pipetting and heavy lifting, as well as hand-intensive sports and hobbies such as knitting or playing a musical instrument, can cause or aggravate an RSI. Working at a computer puts you at risk for an RSI because part of your body is held in a static posture while other parts move incessantly. Both static postures and constant activity can cause first microscopic and then macroscopic damage to biologic tissues. If allowed to progress, an RSI can develop into a permanent disability. Any combination of the following factors can lead to an RSI: Repetition: The repetition of small, rapid movements, such as keying or mousing, for long concentrated hours.
