Each year, 600 thousand workers have to take time off due to RSI and motion related inquires to the hands and arms, according to statistics. Computer users for example spend most of their time repeating the same motion such as typing at the keyboard, maneuvering the mouse, and swiping on touchscreens. These seemingly innocent gestures when done thousands of times a day are precisely what lead to disabilities such as carpal tunnel and musculoskeletal disorders. Left untreated, many people can become unemployable as a result.
