Read moreRSI typically encompasses a range of conditions caused by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, or sustained/awkward positions. Common symptoms of Repetitive Strain Injury include pain, stiffness, numbness, or tingling in the affected muscles or joints. Key factors contributing to RSI among workers include:
Can lead to conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis due to repetitive keyboard and mouse use.
Repetitive lifting, carrying, and tool use in industries such as construction and manufacturing can result in various forms of RSI.
Repetitive service motions found in retail, hospitality, and healthcare settings can contribute to the development of RSI.
