11. But whether a steady diet of force feedback will build strong biceps or create repetitive strain injuries remains to be seen. 12. Dr. David Diamond, a staff doctor at MIT whose specialty is occupational medicine, gives monthly lectures about how to prevent repetitive strain injury. 13. Dr. Alfred Franzblau, associate professor of occupational medicine at the University of Michigan, said electronic stimulus testing did not accurately gauge the potential for repetitive strain. 14. He and other physicians at the university have written papers on how electronic stimulus exams show signs of repetitive strain when none exists. 15. He has allowed Mount Sinai Hospital to use his workers for a study on repetitive strain injuries. 16. He said he also had found that electronic tests sometimes did not detect repetitive strain when it was present. 17. Hundreds of thousands of American workers, from meat packers to computer programmers, are afflicted with repetitive strain injuries each year. 18. If some collections look as if the designers suffer from repetitive strain injury, well, customers can relate. 19. In the end, steady rains and the scooter-related return of an old repetitive strain injury cut my experiment short. 20. Indeed, convincing a jury that computer keyboards are poorly designed, inherently dangerous and cause repetitive strain injuries could be a big hurdle. |
