I'd be very curious to see relative rates of repetitive stress injuries in stenographers vs regular typists, controlling for amount of time spent typing, etc.

I'd be very curious to see relative rates of repetitive stress injuries in stenographers vs regular typists, controlling for amount of time spent typing, etc. On the one hand, when I see something like this I think: Maybe this would be worth looking into to reduce chances of RSI. On the other hand, when I look at videos of people typing like this, it strikes me as being ergonomically weird. Very low keyboards, hands locked into a relatively small area of space, etc. I see the author is here. Would love to hear about this from an insider! Disclosure: full-time programmer, working jazz drummer, amateur pianist who is always terrified that it's all gonna catch up with me one of these days.
