The following countries do not have an RSI association but you can access information through the following contacts: Norway, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain.
Norway No patients' association. Term 'RSI' rarely used . Doctors prefer diagnoses that describe the symptoms (painful forearm, sore hand, etc.) rather than make assumptions regarding the cause. Closest is probably patients' association for people with rheumatic problems (nrf.adm@rheuma.no) which may be able to help. There is apparently also a website in Norwegian for those with RSI-like symptoms: www.Musesyke.nu also accessible via www.mousewatch.com.
