Deborah Quilter has written two books about repetitive strain injury (RSI). The Repetitive Strain Injury Recovery Book was published by Walker Publishing Company in March 1998, and the first printing sold out within a month. Repetitive Strain Injury: A Computer User's Guide (with Emil Pascarelli, M.D.) appeared in 1994, and is considered a classic in its field. Jane Brody, health columnist for The New York Times, called the book "a comprehensive guide dealing with many repetitive stress injuries."
