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.
