identiﬁ ed normal, seemingly harmless activities as a potential cause
of a wide range of problems collectively known as Repetitive Stress

recognized that any repetitive motion my contribute to these health
problems. As a computer user, you might also be at risk.

computer and phone, play sports, and work around the house, you
can identify the behaviors that may be putting you at risk. If you

or hands (especially during sleep), see your physician immediately.

stress injury that requires prompt medical attention. For more
detailed information, consult your doctor.
