What is R.S.I.?
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a general term
for a variety of conditions, many of which are painful, usually
in or near the wrist. RSI conditions are often associated with
occupations involving prolonged or repeated manipulation of
the hand or wrist. A relaxed condition is called Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
This can have a variety of causes but here we are mainly concerned
with its relation to the prolonged use of a computer mouse.
Power
in the hand comes from the forearm muscles and is transmitted
by strong tendons to the digits. To permit free movement at
the wrist, these tendons are channelled through a narrow tunnel,
the carpal tunnel, centrally situated at the base of the hand
and allowing a sliding movement of the tendons in every position
of the wrist.
