Wrist action

Article Abstract:

Repetitive stress injury (RSI) is a condition that frequently strikes keyboard operators and other individuals who must make repetitive typing movements at great speed, often under pressure. The problem that RSI sufferers face is that many medical specialists do not recognize RSI as a condition that can be distinguished from similar ailments such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tenosynovitis. As a result, most employers refuse to provide compensation for RSI on the grounds that it is not a legally recognized ailment for which sufferers can claim injury-related compensation.
