RSI arises due to small movements continuously repeated over a long period of time. To avoid RSI, suggest that you:

• Set up your workspace ergonomically.
• Position the keyboard and mouse in such a manner that your upper arms and wrists are outstretched and to the sides of your body.
• Take several short breaks, with stretching exercises if necessary.
• Change your posture often.
