重复性劳损 (RSI)(Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI))是一种已知的疾病，其中一个人的肌肉因重复运动而紧张和疼痛。也称为过度使用综合症(Overuse Syndrome)，这种情况很常见，主要发生在从事文职工作的人身上。由于持续的屏幕观看时间、冲浪和打字可能会给人带来压力，因此建议人们定期从屏幕上休息一下，最好间隔一小时。今天，我将回顾一个可以为此目的派上用场的提醒，一个名为Big Stretch Reminder的工具。
防止重复性劳损
研究表明，每小时进行几次短暂的停顿（即微停顿）有助于保持自己的健康，并有助于预防腕管综合症等健康问题。
警报和警报有时会触动人的神经。这些声音可能很烦人，可能会导致人们永远关闭它们。Big Stretch Reminder易于使用，同时具有持久性。可以轻松设置警报，并提供广泛的选项和自定义；您希望警报的显示方式、消息等。
适用于 Windows 10 的大拉伸提醒
如您所见，首先是您想要休息的时间间隔，最短为一分钟，一直持续到一天（23 小时 59 分钟）。对(Right)在选择休息时间的设置下方是一个选项，可以缩短用户休息的时间段，以防他/她对计算机进行一些密集使用，我认为这是一个非常体贴和可观的补充到工具包，让它保持简单但就在眼前。有时繁重的工作会使人忘乎所以，在这种情况下，这可能会有所帮助。此页面上还有一个选项，您可以在计算机空闲时暂停提醒；再次，一个非常简单但非常有用的实现。定期发出提醒的声音而没有人暂停它可能很烦人，Big Stretch Reminder承认这一点。计算机闲置 5 分钟后，提醒会暂停。
如果您转到“显示”(Display)部分，您可以选择您希望提醒的显示方式，其中有三个选项可供选择，屏幕右下角的非干扰气球提醒，或弹出窗口和(Reminder)Micro-Break将出现在中心。虽然弹出窗口和Micro-Break大致相同，但Micro-Break会启动倒计时；您希望休息持续的时间。如果您选择Micro-Break，您还可以选择将休息时间推迟一小时。
接下来是消息(Messages)。在这里(Herein)，您设置您希望提醒显示的内容。默认设置是随机RSI提示，因为该工具主要是为了解决这个问题而设计的，尽管这些提示很重要和有用，但您不会与它们一起广播您的提醒消息。
还有一个选项可以显示随机的励志名言和您的标准个人信息设置。
在声音(Sounds)部分有一个下拉列表，其中包含可供选择的声音列表，虽然我不应该播放最喜欢的声音，但叮咚(Ding-Dong)对我来说是一个明显的赢家。您还可以选择上传您选择的声音文件，以防这四个文件都不符合您的要求。如果您添加了太多警报并且只想让它们休息，您可以返回计时器(Timer)部分并从窗口顶部禁用Big Stretch Reminder 。
设置完成后，您的提醒将出现在系统托盘中，您可以通过访问“设置”(Settings)重新配置它们。这可以通过右键单击警报并从选项列表中选择设置来完成。(Settings)
那里有成百上千的提醒工具，每一个都提供相同的服务，这使得选择一个有点挑剔，但没有理由不让Big Stretch Reminder成为你的首选。这是一个紧凑的工具，它不会对任何不必要的功能大惊小怪，设置尽可能简单，而且我相信它的设置允许您根据 PC 的大量使用来增加提醒频率，这确实使它与众不同. 您可以通过此处(by going here)下载Big Strech 提醒(Big Strech Reminder) 。

Prevent Repetitive Strain Injury by using Big Stretch Reminder on your PC
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a known ailment wherein one’s muscles are strained and in pain because of repetitive movement. Also known as Overuse Syndrome, the condition is very commonly found, mostly in people deployed in clerical jobs. Since the constant screen watch-time, surfing and typing can be stressful, it is advisable for people to take periodic breaks, preferably at one-hour gaps, from their screens. Today, I’ll be reviewing a reminder that can come in handy for this purpose, a tool that goes by the name of Big Stretch Reminder.
Prevent Repetitive Strain Injury
Studies have revealed that taking several short pauses an hour (i.e., micro-pauses) helps in keeping yourself healthy and helps prevent health issues like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Alerts and alarms can sometimes get to the nerve of a person. The sounds can be annoying which may lead to one shutting them down forever. Big Stretch Reminder is simple to use and persistent at the same time. Alarms can be set easily and a wide range of options and customizations are offered; the way you want your alerts to be displayed, their messages, etc.
Big Stretch Reminder for Windows 10
As you can see, first thing’s first is the time intervals in which you would like to take a break, minimum being one minute and going all the way up to a day (23 hours and 59 minutes). Right below the setting to select the time between breaks is an option to bring down the time period between which a user takes a break in case he/she is engaged in some intense usage of the computer, which I think is a very considerate and appreciable addition to the toolkit, keeping it simple yet right in front of the eye. Sometimes heavy work can make a person get carried away in which case this can be helpful. Also on this page is an option for you to put the reminders on hold when the computer is left idle; again, a really simple implementation yet a really useful one. The sound of a reminder at periodic intervals with no one to pause it can be annoying and Big Stretch Reminder acknowledges that. The reminders are paused 5 minutes after your computer is left idle.
If you move on to the Display section, you select the way you want your reminder to be displayed with three options to choose from, a non-disturbing Balloon Reminder at the bottom right of your screen, or a popup window and a Micro-Break that will appear in the center. While both the popup and the Micro-Break are more or less the same, Micro-Break initiates a countdown; the time for which you want your break to last. In case you opt for a Micro-Break you also get an option to postpone your break for up to an hour.
Next up is Messages. Herein, you set what you want your reminder to display. The default setting is a random RSI tip, since the tool is primarily designed to tackle that, and as important and useful as these tips can be, you don’t get to broadcast your reminder’s message with them.
There’s also an option to show a random motivational quote and your standard personal message setting.
In the Sounds section comes a dropdown with a list of sounds to select from, and although I am not supposed to play favorites, the Ding-Dong is a clear winner for me. You also have an option to upload a sound file of your choice, in case none of the four fit your bill. In case you have added one too many alerts and just want to put them to rest, you can head on back to the Timer section and disable Big Stretch Reminder from the top of the window.
Your reminders, after being set up, will appear in the system tray and you can reconfigure them by visiting the Settings. This can be done by right-clicking on your alert and selecting Settings from the list of options.
There are hundreds and thousands of reminder tools out there, each of them offering the same service and that can make it a little picky to choose one, but there is no reason why Big Stretch Reminder shouldn’t be your go-to pick. It’s a compact tool, it doesn’t fuss around with any unnecessary features, the setup is as easy as it can get and I believe that its setting that allows you to increase reminder frequencies depending on heavy PC usage really sets it apart from the rest. You can download Big Strech Reminder by going here.
