Writer's Cramp is a spasm occurring chiefly amongst those who write much. Similar spasms occur amongst piano players, violin players, tailors and others. In its early stages it is a true cramp, but prolonged continuance of the condition may result in scrivener's palsy or paralysis. With the advent of the computer writer's cramp has become less common but has been replaced by repetitive strain injury (RSI), which many may think is a new industrial injury, in fact it has been a problem for more than a hundred years.
