Most people are not aware of how debilitating RSI is. In fact, some may not even know what RSI stands for; it is an abbreviation for Repetitive Strain Injury. The term RSI is generally agreed as an umbrella term for a number of upper limb disorders. In 2006, nearly half a million people in the UK suffered from some form of RSI and the number is increasing. Programmers spend increasing amount of time using computers with little breaks, and often in bad posture and unsuitable work station setting, which cause them to be highly susceptible to RSI. This talk will reveal the cause and effect of RSI, its prevention and cures.
