What is ergonomics?
Microsoft study found:
78% indicated they know what ergonomics is
BUT … many thought this related to :economy, environment, energy or even egos!

Repetitive Strain Injury
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) - a 'catch all' phrase
Afflicts nerves, muscles, tendons and ligaments
Also referred to as Musculo-Skeletal Disorder (MSD), Work Related Upper Limb Disorder (WRULD)
![Page 13: Computer Access Workshop 23/11/11](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54beb0344a79596c2b8b4590/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The impact of MSDs on the workforceLabour Force Survey + HSE collate stats
on MSDs In 2009/10, over 500k suffered from a MSD
that was caused or made worse by their current or past work
An estimated 9 million working days were lost through MSDs.
Confirms that musculoskeletal disorders are the most common type of work-related illness

Does it matter?
RSI is a serious problem
Organisations beginning to address the issue
High cost to UK economy
MSD cost to society £7 billion a year (“Fit for work?” Work Foundation)

Mice – How much do we use?
1) How many metres does the mouse travel a day?
2) How many mouse clicks a day?

RSIGuard
Is it better to prevent work related illness? Does your DSE system prevent illness or used as
a reactive measure? Or just stick with the remedial approach? Is there a choice?
RSIGuard: Decreasing Discomfort and
Increasing Productivity
![Page 33: Computer Access Workshop 23/11/11](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54beb0344a79596c2b8b4590/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
RSIGuard – the pain
33
Study showed:
• 5% employees lost over 4 hours of productive time/week (avg.) due to musculoskeletal and/or back discomfort
• RSIGuard software: Decreased the number of employees with constant or frequent discomfort by at least 32%.
Research Shows: “The dominant cause of lost productive time is reduced
performance due to pain,” not absenteeism. (1)
(1) Journal of the American Medical Association, “Lost Productive Time and Cost Due to Common Pain Conditions in the US Workforce”;

RSIGuard - objectiveDecrease risk of injury and reduce
absenteeism by: Reduce lost work days Comply with internal and external mandates Prevent discomfort-related drops in productivity
RSIGuard helps you achieve this goal by:
Decreasing risks by changing behavior and work patterns Fundamentally reducing exposure to strain Providing actionable insight into the causes of strain Being easy to implement, use, and maintain
![Page 35: Computer Access Workshop 23/11/11](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54beb0344a79596c2b8b4590/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Change Behaviour and Work Patterns Intelligent break software teaches users to
take regular breaks from the computerBased on accumulated strainExercises and stretches presented to the user

Reduce Exposure to Strain
AutoClick: Dramatically reduce mouse-related strain by using a software-based “click”
