Many products claim to prevent Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI's), but ergonomic products by themselves do not prevent injuries from occurring.

Preventing RSI's has to be approached from several angles in order to produce positive results and decrease chances of injury. Example: An ergonomic keyboard may reduce poor wrist position, amount of pressure required by keys, etc., but it does not do the work for you. You still have to type, therefore performing repetitive flexion, or countless hours of exercise to the finger and wrist flexor muscles, resulting in a "muscle imbalance" and the onset of injury. (Tissue-to-tissue approximation / Impingement on one side of the joint and a Tensile Strain / Gapping on the opposing side of the joint.)

Below is a list of products and training systems to help prevent the onset of Repetitive Strain Injuries of the upper extremity (Fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, elbows, upper arms and shoulders.), including but not limited to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tendonitis , Trigger Finger, Guyon's Syndrome, Dupuytren's Contracture, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, AC-Impingement, Writer's Cramp and many more!
