    Extractions: Disabilities are not always obvious. Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) are injuries involving damage to muscles, tendons and nerves caused by overuse or misuse. They most commonly affect the hands, wrists, elbows, arms, shoulders, back, or neck. Unlike strains and sprains, which usually result from a single incident (called acute trauma), repetitive strain injuries develop slowly over time; thus, they are also called Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD) or Muscular Skeletal Disorders (MSD). The majority of RSIs are related to computer use, though other repetitive work tasks, such as pipetting and heavy lifting, as well as hand-intensive sports and hobbies such as knitting or playing a musical instrument, can cause or aggravate an RSI. Working at a computer puts you at risk for an RSI because part of your body is held in a static posture while other parts move incessantly. Both static postures and constant activity can cause first microscopic and then macroscopic damage to biologic tissues. If allowed to progress, an RSI can develop into a permanent disability.

    Extractions: Repetitive strain injuries cover a wide variety of problems, all from doing one activity for too long. Athletes are prone to injury from overuse of shoulder or leg muscles, musicians from practicing for long hours, and one of the most publicized problems occurs when people spend long hours in front of a computer. This program explains how the injuries develop and how to treat them. But the concentration is on prevention, using proper technique both in sports and at work, and how to adapt a work site to an individual.

30. What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome And Repetitive Strain Injuries?
    What causes carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain injuries? Also a look at the symptoms and treatments.  
    http://www.repetitive-strain.com/causes.html
    
    Extractions: WHAT ARE OFTEN THE CAUSES OF REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURIES? What Are The Causes? Repetitive and/or static wrist and finger flexion causes the flexor muscles which 'close' the hand to develop more strength than the wrist and finger extensor muscles that 'open' the hand. This quickly leads to a "muscle imbalance" of the wrist and hand because of the lack of activities that require direct stimulation of the extensor muscles; such as opening a door or holding onto the steering wheel of a car with the backside of the hands. Performing repetitive wrist and finger flexion causes inflammation of the flexor tendons due to friction within the severely compressed carpal tunnel; ultimately aggravating the existing symptoms, and leading to possible irreversible damage of the underlying tendons, blood vessels and median nerve. Can The Symptoms Of These Injuries Be Reversed? In Most Cases. Performing active stretches and exercises with FLEXTEND can often help correct the strength and length differences between muscle groups. Equalizing the flexor to extensor strength and length ratio will often create balance on both sides of the finger, wrist and elbow joints, which can help reduce the impingement/compression within and around these joints.

Your arms should move your hands around instead of resting your wrists and stretching to hit keys with the fingers. (Wrist rests give you a place to rest your hands only when pausing from typing, NOT while you are typing.) When you stop typing for a while, rest your hands in your lap and/or on their sides instead of leaving them on the keyboard. Wrists also should not be bent to the side, . . .

    Extractions: CTD: cumulative trauma disorder) De door de SKB (Stichting Kwaliteitsbevordering Bedrijfsgezondheidszorg) gehanteerde definitie luidt: Werkgebonden aandoeningen aan de bovenste ledematen (handen, pols, armen en schoudergordel) en nekregio, die gerelateerd zijn aan het uitvoeren van repeterende handelingen. Er zijn vele factoren die kunnen bijdragen aan het ontstaan van de klachten en het beeld kent een groot aantal verscijningsvormen. Slechts in ongeveer 10 - 20% van de gevallen van RSI kan er een "echte" diagnose worden gesteld. Meestal kan niet verder worden gekomen dan een beschrijving. Specifieke ziektebeelden zijn bijvoorbeeld het carpaal tunnel syndroom (CTS), de tennis- en de golferselleboog (epicondylitis lateralis resp. medialis). Het verdient mogelijk de voorkeur het begrip "RSI" te reserveren voor die gevallen waarin geen duidelijk diagnose kan worden gesteld. Klachten zoals pijn, gevoelloosheid, tintelingen, krachtsverlies, zwelling, crepiteren en een gestoorde coördinatie in de bovenste ledematen of nekstreek moeten doen denken aan RSI. Met name als deze klachten ontstaan en / of verergeren door bepaalde risicovolle activiteiten in de werk- of hobbysfeer, is RSI zeer waarschijnlijk.

    Extractions: Because work shouldn't hurt! Repetitive strain injuries are a serious occupational health concern across the world. February 28, 2003 will mark the fourth annual International RSI Awareness Day. Held on the last day of February, it is the only "non-repetitive" day on the calendar and is officially observed on February 29th. What is RSI? Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is an umbrella term for a number of overuse injuries affecting the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, and nerves) of the neck, upper and lower back, chest, shoulders, arms and hands. Typically arising as aches and pains, these injuries can progress to become crippling disorders that prevent sufferers from working or leading normal lives. Why Should I Care? The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that repetitive trauma disorders (not including back injuries) accounted for 62% (308,000) of all reported work-related illness cases in 1995. Despite their prevalence, workers, employers, and the medical profession poorly understand these injuries. Getting appropriate diagnosis, treatment, compensation, and workplace accommodation is often difficult and places a further burden on the injured worker No one is immune from RSI How Can I Help?
