Everyone I know uses a keyboard and mouse, hour after hour, day in and
day out. They do not report any CTS problems. I am at my desk for many
hours at a time, and I have not suffered any CTS problems.
I also play the Banjo, and if there was a problem with CTS, I am guessing
that it might be reflected in my playing. When I started playing the
instrument, it was hour after hour of unusual finger positions and
repetitive motion.
I was also a custom printer in a lab and for more than a decade, it was
the same repetitive movements hour after hour, 6 days a week. I am
thinking that if repetitive motion was a problem, it would have shown up
by now.
Everything I have done to make a living involved long hours of constant,
repetitive motion, and I see absolutely no evidence that repetitive
motions cause problems.
So the question is this: is CTS a real problem or do people have other
problems and are using CTS as a convenient excuse? Was CTS a syndrome
developed at Harvard Law School or is it truly a legitimate issue?
