Avoid iPad RSI and iPad Shoulder

Avoid iPad RSI and iPad Shoulder

It is possible that a new wave of technology related injuries is coming?

We all love our mobile devices and our tablet devices are fast becoming an everyday, and in some cases, a most of the day, necessity as we browse, work, game and read on them.

Researchers at the University of Washington have been studying Repetitive-Strain Injuries or RSI, linked to the use of our tablet and mobile devices. Holding a tablet for too long, over time, could result in an RSI injury, according to researchers.

Dubbed with many different names but commonly iPad RSI or iPad Shoulder and iPad Hand, doctors are reporting an increase in having to treat people with tablet related RSI. Users have complained of aches and pains in their hand they hold the device with and in the fingers of the other hand from typing/swiping/tapping.

It isn't just aches and pains either, experts are identifying problems with users posture as they try to hold there tablet at different angles to get comfy using it. Cyndi Davis, author of an ergonomics internet blog The Ergolab, has been reported to say "it is very challenging finding a comfortable body posture while using the iPad."
