The pain of RSI

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) develops as a result of repetitive movements when using a computer keyboard and mouse.  Forceful movements on the keyboard, awkward or static posture and insufficient recovery time add to the combination of factors.

 

RSI is preventable

RSIGuard is an integrated software package that has been designed to prevent and manage RSI by:

• Offering breaks, tailored to personal needs

• Reducing mouse strain and repetitive activity

• Tracking and reporting work statistics – showing who is most at risk

 

RSIGuard can help your organisation by:

 

  • Changing behaviour
  • Reducing strain exposure
  • Analysis

 

How does it work?

RSIGuard helps prevent RSI by encouraging computer users to become aware of their behaviour, and change it. Features include:

 

BreakTimer

The BreakTimer analyses work patterns and suggests rest times.

During breaks, RSIGuard encourages stretching with demonstration videos.

 

AutoClick

Reduce mouse strain by up to 80%! AutoClick eliminates over-clicking by

stimulating a click when the mouse stops moving.

 

ForgetMeNots

15 second microbreaks remind the user about their working habits, such

as checking their posture.

 

Already Benefiting

Many other organisations are already benefiting from developing a preventative strategy with RSIGuard including BBC, IBM, Barclaycard, BP, Visa, Coca Cola, and Reuters.

 

“The overall service level provided by Keytools was very good, courteous and prompt! Staff see the installation of the software as evidence

that their employers are listening to them and taking a proactive stance on healthier computing.”

David Cowell, Chief Sub Editor at Reuters
