RSI: Prevent Repetitive Strain Injury
BeginnersNew

Wed 16 May 2012

Description

The rise of Work Related Upper Limb Disorders (WRULD - formerly known as RSI) results in varying degrees of pain and discomfort in the upper limbs, back and neck. Ergonomic workstation setup is often overlooked but is a critical part of healthy computing and is often one of the root causes of a WRULD. This course will introduce the user to the common workstation problems and show some basic alterations that can be made to create an ergonomic environment that is less stressful to the body.
