Computers are one certain example of repetitive stress injuries, but lots of other example exist including musicians, sports people, and builders. Any motion that is repetitive in nature has the potential to cause injury if done often enough, with insufficient rest or variation in tasks. You would really need to analyse the injury you have,and what you do. You should consult someone with experience of repetitive injuries in your line of work, mine experience is 100% based on computer use.
