REPETITIVE STRESS / INDUSTRIAL OVERUSE RSI
A repetitive strain injury (RSI), also
called repetitive stress injury, cumulative trauma disorder
or ocupational overuse syndrome, is any of a loose
group of conditions from overuse of the computer, guitar,
knife or similar motion or tool. It is an occupational overuse
syndrome affecting muscles, tendons and nerves in the arms
and upper back; hence it is also known as work related
upper limb disorder or WRULD. The medically accepted
condition in which it occurs is when muscles in these areas
are kept tense for very long periods of time, due to poor
posture and/or repetitive motions.
