Extractions: The case study had three components. One was a survey of some 350 CMU faculty, graduate students, and staff members, from all colleges in the university. They were asked about their RSI symptoms, their work habits, and their workstation. The second component invovled on-site evaluations of 80 workstations from seven departments. The third was a net cost analysis of policy options that Carnegie Mellon might consider. These methods were developed in a general form which could also be applied to other organizations.

Extractions: Michael takes as many English courses as his schedule allows and writes science fiction stories in his spare time. He spends many hours writing and researching on the computer at school and at home. Lately he's had numbness and tingling in his hand, but he figures it's a normal result of spending so much time clicking the mouse. Michael doesn't realize he has the first symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, a repetitive stress injury. Repetitive stress injuries are an increasing health problem among teens. Read on to learn more. What Are Repetitive Stress Injuries? Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) are a group of injuries that happen when too much stress is placed on a part of the body, resulting in inflammation (pain and swelling), muscle strain, or tissue damage. This stress generally occurs from repeating the same movements over and over again. RSIs are the most common work-related injuries that people get and often affect people who work on computer keyboards a lot. RSIs are most common in adults, although they are becoming more prevalent in teens because they spend more time than ever using computers. Playing sports like tennis that involve repetitive motions can also lead to RSIs. You may hear sports-related RSIs referred to as

Repetitve strain Injury (RSI). What is Good Treatment? repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a common condition that encompasses many different injuries.
http://ergonomics.ucla.edu/RSI_Treatment.html

Extractions: Repetitve Strain Injury (RSI): What is Good Treatment? Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a common condition that encompasses many different injuries. The spectrum ranges from carpal tunnel syndrome to tendonitis. The common denominator is that they are cause by excessive repetitive activity or overuse. There is no specific protocol for treating RSI, due to the fact that RSI can be so many things. However, getting the correct treatment is essential for recovery of the affected area. And the earlier you seek treatment, the faster the recovery. It can be difficult to find a doctor who is experienced in diagnosing and treating RSI. Most people will start with their primary care physician. Some primary care physicians will have the skills to treat your condition, but most will refer you out to specialists. Some of the specialists you might see include orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, neurologists, hand specialists, and physiatrists. The correct doctor often depends on the seriousness of your injury.

http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0031619.html

Extractions: Or search the encyclopaedia: repetitive strain injury Generic term for various kinds of work-related musculoskeletal injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis. Symptoms of RSI include inflammation of tendon sheaths, mainly in the hands and wrists, which may be disabling. It is found predominantly in factory workers involved in constant repetitive movements, and in those who work with computer keyboards. The symptoms include aching muscles, weak wrists, tingling fingers, and in severe cases, pain and paralysis. Some victims have successfully sued their employers for damages. In many RSI cases, there is no actual sign of tissue damage and some researchers are beginning to believe that the origin of the pain may be due to a problem in the brain rather than the tissues, with the brain rewiring its neurones to cope with continual repetitive movements until it loses awareness of which finger is which.

http://ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/glossary/repetitive_strain_injury.html

Extractions: The term Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) refers to a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis or tendonitis. Such injuries are often also referred to as Work-related Upper Limb Disorders, Occupational Overuse Injuries, or Cumulative Trauma Disorders, but there is no suggestion that such problems can arise only in the workplace - they can equally well arise through activities performed in the home. RSI has become much more prominent with the rapid rise in computer user, which has resulted in many people complaining of hand, neck and arm problems. However, other activities, such as repetitive use of a pipettor or the playing of a musical instrument may also give rise to symptoms. RSI is potentially a very serious problem, and employers are under a legal obligation to minimize the risk of employees developing RSI.

Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is one of several terms used to describe a group of activity-related soft-tissue injuries. The affected areas of the body can include only the upper limbs (shoulder, wrist, hand, upper back, elbow and/or lower arm), the neck and upper back. Symptoms can also develop in the lower back and legs. Common injuries related to repetitive strain include: carpal tunnel syndrome (affecting the wrist and fingers); tendinitis (inflammation of a tendon); bursitis (often affecting the shoulder); and epicondylitis (also known as "tennis elbow" or "golfer’s elbow"). Pain and discomfort occur when individuals engage in repetitive or forceful motions or they assume prolonged static (unchanging) or awkward postures. These activities may create inflammation and swelling in the muscles, tendons and/or bursae (small, fluid-filled sacs that act as cushions between muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones). In some cases, muscle fibres may be damaged or nerves may become "entrapped," causing pain or changes in sensation. RSI has been known by other names, including "cumulative trauma disorder," "occupational overuse disorder," "repetitive motion injury," and "repetition strain injury." More recently researchers have classified some RSIs as "work-related musculoskeletal disorders" (WMSDs).

http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/staffpages/cdenham/public_html/rsi.html

Extractions: Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) includes numerous injuries due to computer keyboards and pointing devices. These ailments are real injuries, not just minor aches. Five people on our staff are coping with RSI at this writing. My own injury is mouse-related: "DeQuervain's Tenosynovitis", which involves two of the tendons that operate the thumb. It is just the latest of injuries that have travelled over my entire hand/arm/shoulder system during the past several years. They are painful and can really wreck your batting-average, not to mention your career. I foolishly ignored the problem until recently. (Yeah, it's a guy-thing.) An injection of cortisone has greatly relieved the swelling and pain, but it is too early to know the long-term result . If you have a sore hand or wrist, take a look at some of these RSI sites, get the "Repetitive Strain Injury" book by Pascarelli and Quilter (Wiley), then (try to) find a doctor who knows about RSI. (The most numerous complaints on the "SoreHand" bulletin-board are about not being able to find a physician who knows and/or cares about this stuff.)
