160 | HP Jornada H/PC User’s Guide What is RSI? RSI is a type of injury caused by the irritation or inflammation of soft tissues such as muscles, nerves, or tendons. In extreme cases, this irritation can lead to permanent tissue damage. RSI has been a documented problem for workers performing specific tasks such as assembly line work, meatpacking, sewing, playing musical instruments, and working with a computer. It may also result from other activities, such as tennis.
Ergonomics | 161 Avoiding RSI Recent literature suggests that there may be a relationship between injury to soft tissues, especially in the hands and arms, and the prolonged use of keyboards or other equipment requiring repeated motion of the hands and forearms. Literature also suggests that there are many other risk factors that may increase the chances of such soft-tissue injury. You can minimize the risk of suffering from RSI by following the guidelines detailed in this chapter.
162 | HP Jornada H/PC User’s Guide Reducing eye strain Have your eyes checked on a regular basis and ensure your eyeglass prescription is suitable for working on a computer screen. Look away from the screen from time to time. Focus on distant objects briefly. Blinking periodically helps to lubricate the eyes. Preventing muscle stiffness Avoid holding your muscles tense for long periods of time. Keep your fingers and body relaxed. Changing tasks frequently helps prevent muscle stiffness.
Ergonomics | 163 Using the HP Jornada touch pad Prolonged use of the touch pad can put stress on fingers, hands, and wrists. To reduce the risk of fatigue or stress while using the touch pad, we have included the HPÊJornada short breaks application, and we have installed a very sensitive touch pad that requires only low pressure for activation. These additions reduce the risk of soreness and fatigue due to friction between your finger and the touch pad.
