    Area of Science:

    • Occupational health
    • Musculoskeletal disorders

    Background:

    • Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) are a growing concern.
    • RSIs are a leading cause of lost work time for women and a significant cause for men.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the increasing incidence of RSIs.
    • To emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis in managing RSIs.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed patient history taking.
    • Thorough physical examination to identify affected muscles and tendons.

    Main Results:

    • RSIs are the most common cause of work absence for women.
    • RSIs are the third most common cause of work absence for men.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate identification of affected structures is crucial for RSIs.
    • Treatment focuses on avoiding stress to the affected muscles and tendons to prevent further injury.
