If we told you that something as simple as keyboarding or clicking your computer mouse could cause you serious harm, would you believe it? Well it’s true. This simple movement, when done over and over again or for sustained period
s of time, can cause an injury to the wrist referred to as repetitive strain injury (RSI), also known as cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) or overuse syndrome.
A repetitive strain injury (RSI) is an injury to part of the musculoskeletal or nervous system caused by repetitive or continual use, vibrations, compression or long periods in a fixed position. Other common names include repetitive stress disorders, cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs), and overuse syndrome which can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Tendonitis.
Activities that can raise the risk of RSI include:
- repetitions
- doing the same activity over a long period of time without rest
- working with force such as lifting heavy objects
- maintaining a poor or awkward posture or position for a long time without rest
- working in cold climates, with instruments that vibrate and stress
Prevention is critical to long term hand health and productivity as persistence can cause permanent changes that are increasingly painful and irreversible over time. Impacto® cutting-edge industrial wrist supports and therapeutic technologies are designed to offset musculoskeletal injuries by reducing overextension and over flexion of the wrist without limiting mobility.
