Repetitive Strain Injury: A Computer User's Guide - Pascarelli & Quilter

This was a quirk of coincidence, as I have recently been thinking about typing and carpal tunnel syndrome.  It looks like the last time the book was checked out was in 1995 (a year after the publication date), so it has been on the shelves for a while.  I am glad someone decided to give it a look, though, as the book does have some great information.

Book cover: Amazon.com

Pascarelli, Emil and Deborah Quilter.  1994.  Repetitive Strain Injury: A Computer User's Guide.  NY: John Wiley & Sons.

Though the book spends what, to me, seemed like an inordinate amount of time describing computer work, detailing modern jobs, and discussing the ignorance of today's (or 1990's) corporations, the authors also do provide helpful hints on preventing and dealing with repetitive strain injury (RSI).  As the authors note, RSI is much more than just carpal tunnel syndrome and includes a wide range of injuries in relation to using computers.  The information on stretching is especially useful for anyone who uses a keyboard for the majority of the day.

Deborah Quilter also has a site on RSI - RSIHelp.com - though the last update seems to have been in 2009.

Emil Pascarelli also wrote a book in 2004 on RSI - Dr. Pascarelli's Complete Guide to Repetitive Strain Injury: What You Need to Know About RSI and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
