Preventing RSI?
·
· Score: 3, Informative
I was lucky to never really develop major RSI related injuries, but I got very close, and I am still very alert when it comes to feeling pain in my hands.
Generally I guess you could characterize the means for prevention into hardware and software (which mostly includes changing habits i.e. brainware as well).
Hardware:
Mouse alternatives (like a tablet, trackball or, better, a combination of as many input devices as necessary)
Ergonomic keyboards
Ergonomic anything, desk, chair, office. There ARE many ways to get hurt or at least work on your chronic situations, not just RSI but back pain etc.
Medicine: In my case whenever I am in a phase where I need to work on a computer exclusively I start developing pain in my right hand, some kind of inflammation - which can be taken care of 3 days with ibuprofen or diclofenac. And which also keeps the thing under control for about another 9 months or so. Talk to your doctor!
Software:
Break Scheduler: Software that enforces breaks, micro breaks; shows stretching tips etc.
Habits: change your habits, change your posture, change your input devices - do anything that keeps you from burning into one repetitive posture/gesture/.... (As with all things in life - change is good)
Macros, Automation: get a good spell checker, get a good macro software, program your editors to do things for you thereby reducing the repetitive work.
> Almost as asinine as being able to patent something that exists in nature.
You mean like - erm - patents on genes and such? "You have just violated patent #2314837646782346723647" "didn't do it" "yep, your particular form of cancer has a gene that has been patentet by my client..."
