Editorial Reviews

Review

Pain-Free Typing Technique is a clear and concise guide to key elements of the most important tool in preventing computer-related injuries: good typing methods. This is probably the first document I've read that attempts to lay out optimum use of laptop keyboards. This booklet is very accessible and gets some central principles across that the reader can then apply. -- Paul Marxhausen, Engineering Electronics Technician, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE

Howard Richman's Pain-Free Typing Technique provides clear, simple and easy to understand techniques to reduce or eliminate repetitive strain injury from keyboarding and mousing. This is a 'must read' for everybody who spends time at their computers. -- Howard Glazer, Ph.D., Behavioral Medicine/ Neuromuscular Rehabilitation, Cornell University Medical College, New York Presbyterian Hospital, New York City, NY

I found your booklet, Pain-Free Typing Technique to be clear, precise, and on the money regarding the causes of cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) in computer users and other typists. CTD has increased in incidence by over 670% in the last five years! And it is now the top reason for a doctor visit, ahead of low back pain. Your focus on poor ergonomics as a primary cause of CTD is well-founded. At $4.95, this booklet's a steal! Think of all the money, time and agony to be saved by putting the advice in this book to good use! -- David Drier, D.C., Chiropractic Bodyworker, Specializing in Deep Myofascial Release for Repetitive Strain Injuries, Bodyworks, Monroe, NY

You have focused on the cause of carpal tunnel and associated compression syndromes. Your book is practical, functional and a necessity for anyone who types. I will definitely include it as mandatory reading for my doctor/lecture students and patients. -- Leroy R. Perry Jr., D.C., 5X Olympic Team Doctor/ President, International Sportsmedicine Institute, Los Angeles, CA

Your booklet illustrates the optimum position for keyboarding and the use of the mouse. -- William Kiblinger, M.D.

From the Publisher

Pain-Free Typing Technique provides a clear and logical solution to an ever-growing problem. It's illustrated with 13 graphic photos showing the "good and bad" of common hand positions to help prevent pain and injury. The booklet reveals hidden inadvertent dangers and how to easily avoid them. The principles explained in the Pain-Free Typing Technique are also instantly transferable to the mouse, trackball, adding machine, cash register and any other type of activity that is inclined to induce repetitive motion injuries.
