| The great speed, ease, and
efficiency of personal computers can lead to
severe physical and emotional pain. The problem
is called "Repetitive Strain Injury,"
or RSI, and includes a wide range of conditions
--- from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to Tenosynovitis.
Over time, this "epidemic of the '90s"
damages the muscles, nerves, and tendons of the
hands, wrists, and arms. Dr. Pascarelli's seven-point plan
offers proven ways of preventing the onset of RSI
as well as tested methods that will help RSI
sufferers to once again lead healthy, productive,
and pain-free lives.
Emil Pascarelli,
MD, is Director of Ambulatory Care at
St. Luke's/Roosevelt Hospital in New York City,
founder and Medical Director of the Miller
Institute for Performing Artists, and Professor
of Clinical Medicine at the College of Physicians
and Surgeons of Columbia University and Associate
Professor of Clinical Public Health at New York
Hospital Cornell Medical Center.
