Ergonomics: a brief video of author Deborah Quilter

]]> Deborah Quilter, the author of the Repetitive Strain Injury Recovery Book, was the subject of this short Healthology video called Repetitive Strain Injury – Causes & Symptoms. Sometimes, it’s nice to see someone describing something, rather than just reading about it.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Ms Quilter yesterday and she is a wonderful resource for ergonomics and RSI injury prevention. I’ll be posting the highlights of our conversation. In the meantime, you may want to check out her site at RSIhelp.com.

Help My Hurt Ergonomic Week & a Contest!

]]> Do you have a repetitive stress injury (RSI) or does someone you know have one? RSIs don’t necessarily have to come from work, but can come from pleasure activities, like golfing or quilting. While many of RSIs can be prevented just by changing how we approach certain tasks – some of them require all out refitting. Unfortunately, that sometimes isn’t a priority for some employers.

This week, I’m going to be looking at all things ergonomic for our work (and play) environments. I’ll offer tips on how you can use available products and tools to make your work or play station more comfortable and I’m also asking you for tips and ideas of how we can prevent injuries.

 

Contest!!!

So, here’s the contest part.

I’m giving away an ergonomic mousepad to the lucky winner of my

Work Safe, Play Safe Contest.

To enter the contest, all you need to do is post your story of an RSI or a tip on how to prevent an RSI. It could be sometime simple like you put a thick book under your feet to use as a foot rest or something more complicated like you had carpal tunnel syndrome and you had surgery.

Share your RSI tips and stories, and you may have yourself a new mousepad.

The contest will run for two weeks, ending midnight (EST- daylight savings) April 27, 2008. All entries will be given a number in the order they were submitted and a number will be chosen at random. You can enter more than once but all entries must be original. Please do not copy ideas or stories from other sources without attributing them.
