The latest thoughts on RSI are that they are caused
by 'blurred' mappings of the fingers on the motor
cortex. Perhaps bad typists are particularly
prone to RSI for this reason. From this point of view
resting the hands will do nothing to improve
things; what is needed is appropriate exercises to
remap which fingers go where.
