Supporting Input Devices
When it comes to people supporting their forearms and wrists while keying, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that in North America costs for repetitive motion injuries (RPIs) decreased 34.6% between 1997 and 2007 (Liberty Mutual Workplace Index, adjusted for inflation).
Over the same period, sales of ergonomic office accessories increased by an average of 17% (BIFMA). It's reasonable to think that better equipment helped lower these costs.
Even with a significant decline over those 10 years, annual costs to businesses for RPIs are still over $2 billion. That's about the same as health costs resulting from traffic accidents.
