Repetitive strain injury (rsi) solution number 4: After my unsuccessful try #3 I exchanged my usual mouse against a trackball-mouse.
Actually a trackball is an inverted mouse. So there you move the “mouse-ball” directly and the “mouse-body” stands still.
This is a good solution – it’s a complte other way to operate your mouse cursor. But imaging – after a couple of weeks – you’re still operating the same way all day long. You just re-schedule your RSI problem. Think about it.
At the end I had to say this can not heal a Repetitive Strain Injury for a very long time. Then I remembered my doctor who detected my problem in the upper back. So I tried sitting stright up on a funny sitting ball. So this was my Repetitive Strain Injury solution #5.
Also read my complete repetitive strain injury medical history compendium and my solution abstract.
Trackballs are good because they can remove the load on the shoulder and can enable the user to use both hands. Good for RSI!
