Repetitive stress injuries
It is believed that over-using the muscles and tendons of the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause soreness,
swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain to the areas just mentioned. Certain repetitive hand activities may put
you at a high risk for developing a repetitive stress injury (RSI).
To reduce the risk of RSI, do the following:
 Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted position.
 Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands. Reduce the speed and force in which you do the
repetitive movement.
 Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.
 See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in your fingers, hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI is diag-
nosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.
