Writing as someone who has had RSI / OOS (wrists, reuoldhss), I wonder how many workplaces, let alone universities, actually bother to get someone in to set up people’s workstations properly. While I was a student, I managed to get rather bad RSI; now that I’m working, I was rather pleasantly surprised to find that the company has a health professional come around all new staff in their first two weeks to get their desks set up right and they pay for ergonomic equipment if asked, which at least for me makes quite a bit of difference.
