There's an interesting article by Aaron Iba (main author of Etherpad) http://aaroniba.net/articles/tmp/how-i-cured-my-rsi-pain.html who uses a "Mind Body" approach to curing RSI. He says: "I can type as much as I want, in whatever unergonomic position I want, on any keyboard, without any pain." He also says that his approach "sounds ridiculous to most people." Now, I personally a customized kinesis board http://stumpwm.svkt.org/cgi-bin/ratpoison.pl/jcorneli-kbd and a clever rearrangement scheme on laptops (number row replaced with modifiers). I'm very happy with this, but I think Aaron Iba's essay (and the book he cites) are interesting anyway, and probably relevant to various kinds of pain/distraction.
