This is a funny think to do. The idea is same as for some models of vertical mouse. Wrist is in its natural hand-shake position.Changing your door handles is easy: Loosen little screw positioned where the handle meets the door Take out both parts of the handle Turn up 90 degrees (see picture) and secure back Make sure you do not turn it down, door frame could prevent pressing the handle (which happened to me first time and I got into trouble how to leave the room

While opening, you can move your elbow close to the door and open the door by just pulling the handle sideways (this way you are pulling with your whole arm rather than twisting your hand).

About RSI What Helps

I have started a new category on my blog RSI What Helps, dealing with computer usage related wrist pain, describing measures how to reduce or even eliminate it. RSI means Repetitive Strain Injury. I have now some experience with it and I studied a lot about. I will publish here RSI tips that I tried myself and report whether or not they helped. Hopefully this way it can save you some time to focus on what can be important for your wrist pain free life.
