Commercial

Commercial software can be found to install on your computer, whether at work or at home, to help prevent repetitive strain injuries from use of the computer. The following are features of some of the RSI commercial software out there:

· RSI commercial software can be installed on your work computer to remind you to take a break. It will automatically use a pop up window when it is time for you to rest.

· Some allow you to set up micro pauses for 10-15 seconds, once every minute.

· If you want a regular break, the RSI commercial software will notify you through a pop up window every 15-20 minutes, for a 2 minute break.

· Many can record you daily computer usage, and alert you that you are at your daily limit for the amount of time you spend on the computer.

· Commercial software can be “smart” and can monitor when you are using the computer and when you are taking a break from the computer, so it doesn’t send you ill timed notices to take a break.

While at work it is important to take breaks to help reduce the risk of RSI’s. Commercial software for repetitive strain injury prevention can be a great reminder to take a break during your busy day.
