Description:

The original Typing Injury FAQ (frequently asked questions) was an educational site, provided by the CTD Resource Network, Inc., It now seems that the CTD Resource network has dropped off the web. The current maintainer of this site has an ad from someone at the bottom of each page. The information is probably accurate but the links seem to have disappeared and the information is much more generalized than it was before. You can go to http://www.archive.org and put http://www.tifaq.org into the WayBack machine for any information that was there before. It seems somewhere around 12/2006 the domain expired so look before that date for old information.

Description:

This site gives tips on how to use a computer to ease RSI injuries. "As more and more work, education and recreation involves computers, everyone needs to be aware of the hazard of Repetitive Strain Injury to the hands and arms resulting from the use of computer keyboards and mice. This can be a serious and very painful condition that is far easier to prevent than to cure once contracted, and can occur even in young physically fit individuals. It is not uncommon for people to have to leave computer-dependent careers as a result, or even to be disabled and unable to perform tasks such as driving or dressing themselves."
