The latest version of Desk Doctor, the program that detects,prevents and rehabilitates Repetitive Strain Injury at the computer, has an audible mouse hoverÂ' warning. Many computer users have the habit of gripping the mousewhile thinking or reading from the screen. They may have their finger poised abovethe mouse button for quite some time, ready to make the next click. The behavior,called 'hovering,' is a common cause of RSI due to a build up of tension in smallmuscles of the hand and forearm. Desk Doctor software picks up the micro-movementsthat happen when the body is in contact with the mouse. If these small movementscontinue without the mouse being clicked, Desk Doctor recognizes that the user is HoveringÂ' and shows a red mouse warning on the screen. Because of the strongassociation between mouse hovering and RSI, an optional audible warning has beenadded in Desk Doctor version 1.3.1.
Furthermore, the new version of Desk Doctor has been optimized to use less systemresources than previous versions.

About Desk Doctor
By running Desk Doctor, users avoid chronic illnesses, like carpal tunnel syndromeand tendonitis, which are current workplace epidemics. The program deals activelywith the precise parts of the body where problems are developing, but, beforepainful effects of RSI emerge.
With Desk Doctor, computer users make regular assessments of their entire upper bodyemploying orthopedic tests right at the desk. Interpreting these tests, andformulating a special exercise plan for each individual, is at the core of DeskDoctor. The program is the invention of Dr Russ Hornstein, a specialist inmusculoskeletal disorders who is also an expert in clinical reasoning. Desk Doctordraws on his specialist know-how to provide personal treatment plans that are muchmore effective than the one-size-fits-all approach used in other desk-based systems.
Desk Doctor is the only software that provides users a personalized exercise programto focus on the critical areas where the body is most at risk from strain. Targetedexercises (Desk Doctor has over 100 for the upper body) are vital in avoidingdeveloping RSI.
Desk Doctor estimates when an exercise is needed. The program monitors computeractivity and calculates a  Health Score,Â' which is displayed on the screen. Typingand using the mouse decrease the Health Score; taking short breaks and doing DeskDoctor exercises increase it. A low Health Score indicates a higher risk of gettingRSI, it is the userÂ's  jobÂ' to do the exercises to keep the Score up. There are nofixed times for doing an exercise; users can take a longer break and do severalexercises in succession to top up their Health Score when convenient. This way DeskDoctor lets people fit their RSI prevention and rehabilitation activity into theirwork schedule, minimizing intrusion. By keeping a good average Health Score DeskDoctor users maintain their musculoskeletal health.
Exercises are presented in high-quality video and performed by a professionalexercise coach.
