Tips To Prevent RSI

[Wildhoney]

Below is a list of common tips to prevent RSI.



The causes of RSI is more closely defined as occupational overuse syndrome. Thus, taking frequent breaks from your activities that cause you RSI - such as computer related RSI, would be greatly beneficial in relieving your symptoms.
Wrist pain and hand pain can be ameliorated by introducing some basic techniques in to your day. This may include such techniques as for wrist pain, moving your hands in a circular motion. Just remember that this should be a different type of movement to the regular movement of your hands. Therefore, if it is computed related RSI from using a mouse, the circular motion would be ideal.
Try switching over to an ergonomic keyboard and mouse. Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=043) have started introducing ergonomic keyboards into their arsenal and so you may wish to take a look at that for relieving forearm and wrist pain.
Wrist supports can be also be another invaluable introduction to your setup. These are brilliant at alleviating wrist pain.
As well as the aforementioned movement of the hands, stretching is a great technique to allow your joints to move in ways they are not normally acquainted to moving. If you apply any of these tips to prevent RSI in to your day, stretching and movements of the hands are key to preventing RSI.
Last of all, you should always warm-up your joints before getting down to any frequent activities that may be the causes of RSI. A simple 10 minute warm up before using the computer or strumming on your guitar could well make the day a whole lot better RSI wise!



I hope this list of tips to prevent RSI is helpful to some people. It has helped me alleviate a lot of the pain I used to suffer at the hands of RSI (No pun intended). I'm sure it will do the same for you, too!

Good list here. I had never thought of a warmup for my hands/wrists like I do for other muscles before exercising, but it makes a lot of sense and I should remember that each morning before I start at the keyboard for the day.

I've read that people should drink plenty of water (before they get thirsty) because water helps muscles in a couple of diffent ways. Essentially, it helps them stay healthy.

I've never heard this in relation to strain injuries... but I drink a LOT of water and it didn't seem to do anything for me since I still have the wrist problem. :-)

From what I understand, drinking lots of water helps provide the body with what it needs for the muscle fibers to get re-lubricated. Part of the problem with RSI is that the repeated use of the muscles without giving the fibers a chance to get re-lubricated is what starts the whole injury process.

Having said that, I have to say I don't have an explanation for your wrist problem in spite of the water drinking. :) Maybe your problem would have been even worse if you hadn't been drinking all that water? Maybe there's a point where a person uses muscles/tendons so much even gallons of water aren't enough? In all seriousness, I suppose its like most medical things - there's a set of things that all have to be just right (rather than just one)in order to prevent negative consequences.

After undergoing a radical hysterectomy a few months back, I was forced to drink tons of water and my symptoms did actually subside a bit. I think a lot of RSI pain has to do with swelling and without water we swell!

Hehe Well you have a point there and you may be right. I'm not sure what's
worse than "totally cold numb" but I can guarantee that I don't want to be finding out. :-)

黑客的很多活动都是通过代理服务器 (http://www.dawning.com.cn/product.asp)， 比如扫描、刺探，对局域网内机器进行渗透，黑客一般攻击的时候都是中转了很多级跳板，才攻击目标机器。隐藏 了身份，保证了自己的安全。六 提高下载速度　　突破下载限制。比如有的网站提供的下载资源，做了一IP一线程的限制，这时候可以用影音传 送带，设置多线程，为每个线程设置一个代理。对于限制一个IP的情况很好突破，只要用不同的代 理服务器 (http://www.dawning.com.cn/product.asp)，就可同时下载多个资源，适用于从WEB和FTP 上下载的情况。不过如果是论坛里面的资源，每个用户一个账号，并且限制一账号一IP， 代理服务器 (http://www.dawning.com.cn/product.asp)就突破不了。还有一种情况，比如我们这里，电信的用户上不了联通的电影网站，联通 的用户上不了的电信电影网站，这种情况只要电信的找一个联通地代理，IP地址属联通就行。联通找一个电信代 理。就可以去电影网站下载其电影。教育网还可以通过代理服务器 (http://www.dawning.com.cn/product.asp)可使无出国权限或无访问某IP段权限的计算机访问相关资源。
