What is RSI? Repetitive Strain Injury is more commonly known as RSI. Teenagers intera\ ct with different types of media eight hours a day. Whether it’s mobile phones, televis\ ion or the internet, overusing technology can lead to injuries like Repetitive Strain Injury.\ First News takes a look at how RSI can affect young people – and how it can be prevented. What is RSI? RSI describes injuries that affect muscles, nerve s and tendons. Aches, pain, tingling, swelling and loss of joint movement are all symptoms of RSI. 375 000 people in the UK, including young children, suffer from some kind of muscular disorder, due to poor \ working conditions. It is, therefore, important to understand t he dangers of RSI and how to prevent it. Why do people get RSI? For pupils at school, lots of factors play a role in the development of \ RSI: awkward or fixed positions or stance, the pace of work and repeating tasks can all trigge\ r strain injury. At home, overusing keyboards, computers, and texting can all cause pain.\ Sixty per cent of children who use laptops experience discomfort. RSI can also be brought \ about by bad posture, with pain occurring particularly in the neck, back, shoulders and head region. An 11-year-old boy at Royal Aberdeen children’s hospital was diagnosed with ‘Nintendonitis’ after spending too long sitting awkwardly at his gaming machine. More than 42 million texts are sent every day, and consequently mobile p\ hone users are also at risk of injuring their hands. Using predictive text can stop fingers \ aching because it gives muscles time to rest and recover. What can schools do? At the moment, keyboard skills are not part of the curriculum and only a\ small number of schools choose to teach the subject in class. Teaching children the corr\ ect way to type and use a computer may help to lessen the number of those who develop RSI. S\ chools can invest in ‘work station flexibility accessories’, such as keyboards and m\ ouse trays, wrist rests, booster seats and pillow backs. It doesn’t have to cost a lot to be c\ omfortable; placing a book under the feet or a pillow behind your back at home are good ways of improving health and reducing the risk of RSI. 5 10 15 20 25

6 © UCLES 2011 E9P110/01/M/J/11 For Teacher's Use Read this extract from Roald Dahl’s autobiography Boy and then answer the questions. Letter writing was a serious business at St. Peter’s. It was as much \ a lesson in spelling and punctuation as anything else because the Headmaster would patrol the cla\ ssrooms all through the sessions, peering over our shoulders to read what we were wr\ iting and to point out mistakes. But that, I am sure, was not the main reason for his inter\ est. He was there to make sure we said nothing horrid about his school. There was no way, the\ refore, that we could ever complain to our parents about anything during term-time. If w\ e thought the food was lousy or if we hated a certain master or if we were punished for som\ ething we did not do, we never dared to say so in our letters. In fact, we often went the othe\ r way. In order to please that dangerous Headmaster who was leaning over our shoulders and \ reading what we had written, we would say splendid things about the school and go on abo\ ut how lovely the masters were. Mind you, the Headmaster was a clever fellow. He did not want our parent\ s to think that those letters of ours were censored in this way and therefore he never allowed\ us to correct a spelling mistake in the letter itself. 5 10 8 Make notes in the table to list what Roald Dahl dared and did not dare to write.
