Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Grade 8 Up-This general discussion examines the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of some of the most common repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow. Many of the chapters begin with individual case studies that will engage readers' interest and sympathy. Several black-and-white photographs appear in every chapter and prominent fact boxes highlight important information throughout. The appendixes include commonly asked questions and answers, a time line that reveals that RSIs date back to the early 1700s, a list of related organizations, and Internet addresses.

Very little information,
By
This review is from: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Other Repetitive Strain Injuries (Diseases and People) (Library Binding)
This slim volume (less than 100 pages of real content, and printed in a large font size and with lots of white space) provides very general information on RSIs. The information is neither complete nor authoritatitve. The chapter on treatment, for example, just lists the things you can go to a doctor for, and has a few paragraphs on alternative procedures such as acupuncture. BTW, using yoga to treat RSI is probably the dumbest idea I've heard, myself being a former yoga practioner. Imagine supporting your weight upside down on your injured wrists! Avoid this book.
