Can doing lines give children repetitive strain injury?
Oli Usher
Thursday July 14, 2005
The Guardian

It's possible, says Jon Larner, a physiotherapist at the University of East Anglia, but in most cases it won't. To the delight of Bart Simpson and the horror of the tabloid press, reports emerged this week that hardly any schools now punish misbehaving pupils by making them do lines. The finger of indignation was pointed at the suggestion that such punishment exercises might cause repetitive strain injury (RSI). "Incidence of RSI is going up in children," Larner says, "but if schools are doing this, it may be because of the risk of litigation."

Alleviate RSI the Hacker Way
by Jono Bacon Repetitive strain injury is a common health complaint among IT workers. Despite the increase in cases of RSI, it's possible to avoid the problem by taking the right steps to improve your working conditions. This article explores some of the techniques, methods, and software that you can use to help defend against this increasingly widespread issue. Preventing RSI before it becomes a problem is quite simple; the process consists of several slight changes to the way you use your computer. Some of these steps include modifications to your working environment, and some involve special software that can help you maintain a healthy working day. Don't worry, we don't expect you to go for a 3-mile jog every day and eat rabbit food; you will simply be making changes to your existing routine. You may hardly notice these changes at all.

Biopsychosocial rehabilitation for upper limb repetitive strain injuries in working age adults
Karjalainen K, Malmivaara A, van Tulder M, Roine R, Jauhiainen M, Hurri H, Koes B
Plain language summary
Scientific evidence is scanty to evaluate the effectiveness of biopsychosocial rehabilitation for upper limb repetitive strain injury.
Biopsychosocial rehabilitation means a programme of rehabilitation which includes attention to medical, psychological and social issues. Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a term used to describe upper limb disorders apparently associated with overuse in the workplace. This review found that scientific evidence is insufficient to evaluate the effectiveness of biopsychosocial rehabilitation in upper limb repetitive strain injury.
Abstract
Background
Upper limb repetitive strain injury is a common problem in western countries, causing human suffering and huge economical losses. Patients with prolonged pain associated with repetitive tasks in the work place can face both psychological and physical difficulties. Different treatment programmes, physical, psychological, behavioural , social and occupational treatments have been developed and used to help these patients.

Repetitive Strain Injury
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a potentially debilitating condition resulting from overusing the hands to perform a repetitive task, such as typing, writing, or clicking a mouse. Anyone who uses a computer regularly is at risk and should know about RSI. Unfortunately, most people are uninformed and do not understand what RSI is or how serious it can be. This webpage is intended to educate anyone who uses a computer about RSI, and to provide useful suggestions for prevention and treatment. The webpage also contains some specific advice for the Rice community, and refers to a number of services available through our university that may be useful in the prevention or treatment of RSI. This web page was written and is maintained by Clay Scott . If you have questions that aren't answered here, feel free to email me , call me at 713-348-3776, or just stop by my office in Duncan Hall 2117. I have been dealing with RSI for over five years now, so you will find a sympathetic ear with me. : I am not a doctor, and have no medical training. While every attempt is made to keep this page up-to-date with the best medical advice I have received, it is not a substitute for obtaining professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

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 the mouse. This can be a serious and painful condition that is far easier to prevent than 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. Highlights Safe Computing Tips User Friendly Work Station Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Thousands of repeated keystrokes and long periods of clutching and dragging with mouse slowly accumulates damage to the body. This can happen even more quickly as a result of typing technique and body positions that place unnecessary stress on the tendons and nerves in the hand, wrist, arms, and even the shoulders and neck. Lack of adequate rest and breaks, and using excessive force almost guarantees trouble. Prevention

    What Is RSI?
    Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a very broad term that refers to pain, injury or disability caused by repetitive actions of part of the upper body, such as arms and hands. It is a syndrome (a cluster of symptoms that occur together), rather than a specific diagnosis, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, bursitis, etc. because it is such a broad condition. Most people who are even suffering from a painful episode get better relatively quickly if proper prevention and conservative care are followed. Many people may have mild recurrences that are often a function of the amount of use of the sensitive area and usually can be managed effectively through ergonomic modifications and proper pacing. Most people associate developing RSI with computer usage; either large amounts of time spent on the computer, or incorrect posture or workstation (i.e., chair, keyboard height, monitor) setup. While that may be the most common cause with students, there are others such as excessive writing, the way you hold a book while reading, how you drive a car or any repetitive motion with the upper body without a break.

    Repetitive Strain Injury-The Modern Achilles Heel of Commerce.
    by NEAL ETCHELLS
    There are keyboards available in the marketplace that can alleviate and lesson the risk of typing and data input strain, the best keyboard in many of the simulated test situations has been the Maltron keyboard. This keyboard was invented to rehabilitate R.S.I sufferers and is proven and used by many typists to lessen the risk of contracting tendon strain. The ergonomic design of this board and its many imitators allow keystrokes to be achieved without the excessive bending and flexing of the hands, wrists and arms when typing constantly in a production situation. By allowing the wrists to rest between input decisions and momentary rest times the patented pattern of the keyboard can be measurably beneficial.

Helpful Links Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) If your job involves a lot of typing on the computer keyboard, you may touch keys up to 200,000 times daily; this is the equivalent of your fingers walking 10 miles a day. Anything in your work or home life that requires you to continually repeat small movements in your hands and wrists increases your odds of acquiring a repetitive strain injury (RSI). You may be at risk for RSI if you:
    • Perform a lot of repetition motions with your hands and arms, either at work or at home.
    • Frequently bend your wrists.
    • Frequently grasp or pinch objects.
    • Use a lot of force with your hands or arms.
    • Often raise your arms above your shoulders.
    • Hold your hands and arms in awkward positions that put pressure on nerves, muscles, and tendons.
    • Don't get enough rest, so your hands and arms don't have a chance to recover from the motions and pressure they've been under during the day.
