Thank you, again, for choosing HP computing equipment. About Repetitive Strain Injury Because your comfort and safety are our primary concern, we strongly recommend that you use HP computing equipment in accordance with established ergonomic principles and recommendations. Scientific literature suggests that there may be a relationship between injury to soft tissues — especially in the hands and arms — and prolonged improper use of keyboards or other equipment requiring repeated motions of the hands and forearms. This literature also suggests that there are many other risk factors that may increase the chance of such injury, commonly called Repetitive Strain Injury. What is RSI? Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI — also known as cumulative trauma disorder or repetitive motion injury) is a type of injury where soft tissues in the body, such as muscles, nerves, or tendons, become irritated or inflamed. RSI has been a reported problem for those who perform repetitive tasks such as assembly line work, meatpacking, sewing, playing musical instruments, and computer work. RSI also has been observed in those who frequently engage in activities such as carpentry, knitting, housework, gardening, tennis, windsurfing, and lifting children. 4 Getting Started

About Repetitive Strain Injury
Because your comfort and safety are our primary
concern, we strongly recommend that you use HP
computing equipment in accordance with established
ergonomic principles and recommendations.
Scientific literature suggests that there may be a
relationship between injury to soft tissues ±
especially in the hands and arms ± and prolonged
improper use of keyboards or other equipment
requiring repeated motions of the hands and
forearms. This literature also suggests that there are
many other risk factors that may increase the chance
of such injury, commonly called Repetitive Strain
Injury.
What is RSI?
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI ± also known as
cumulative trauma disorder or repetitive motion
injury) is a type of injury where soft tissues in the
body, such as muscles, nerves, or tendons, become
irritated or inflamed. RSI has been a reported
problem for those who perform repetitive tasks such
as assembly line work, meatpacking, sewing, playing
musical instruments, and computer work. RSI also
has been observed in those who frequently engage in
activities such as carpentry, knitting, housework,
gardening, tennis, windsurfing, and lifting children.
