Having said that, it's also true that RSI may be prevented, or
recovery aided by
many small, modest improvements in
ergonomics, especially if this is done early before you are in severe
trouble. There are some potentially
useful products advertised
on the Web. Some are listed here. THEIR LISTING HERE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE
AN ENDORSEMENT BY ME: I list *any* such product brought to my attention and
encourage you to read the RSI Page and other materials before pouring
money into any ergo product. Also listed now are services related to
RSI. Many of these companies include RSI information and further related
Web links on their sites.
It's important to remember that no gadgets can "fix" RSI or prevent
it if damaging work setups and habits are occurring. Some "ergo"
devices are ineffective or have low-tech alternatives that work just
as well.
ALSO: now available on line is a valuable document on Pros & Cons of various ergonomic office equipment. READ THIS before you buy.
In addition, Usernomics also lists categories of ergonomic products .
