RSI Syndrome
Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) syndrome is an injury caused by repeated small movements,
such as frequent typing, writing text messages, or using a mouse. Typical symptoms are
pain in the fingers, wrist, elbow, or neck.
To prevent RSI syndrome from occurring, we advise you to:
•
Organise your workstation in an ergonomic way.
•
Position the keyboard and mouse so that your arms are placed close to your body at a 90 degree
angle.
•
Make sure your wrists are supported and keep them aligned horizontally with your fingers and forearms.
•
Take regular short breaks to stretch your wrists, arms and shoulders.
•
Make sure your feet are flat on the floor and your back is straight and supported.
