    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Ergonomics
    • Musculoskeletal Disorders

    Background:

    • Increased industrial mechanization and keyboard usage have driven a rise in repetitive strain injuries (RSIs).
    • Economic pressures demanding higher production output exacerbate the risk of developing RSIs.
    • Repetitive tasks in modern work environments are a significant contributing factor to musculoskeletal issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detail the various types of repetitive strain injuries.
    • To outline current diagnostic methods for RSIs.
    • To review established and emerging treatment strategies for RSIs.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of occupational health studies on RSIs.
    • Analysis of diagnostic criteria for common repetitive strain injuries.
