Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
If you believe you may be suffering from a repetitive strain injury which was work related, you could be entitled to financial compensation.
Repetitive strain injuries affect thousands of people. They are most often caused by:
- Long periods of work without suitable breaks
- An overuse of the muscles on a continued repetitive basis
- Constantly vibrating equipment
- Working in cold temperatures
- Continually holding the same posture
- Stress has been known to trigger RSI
- Poor posture or a badly organised work area
- Direct pressure or a blow to the body
- Lifting heavy loads on a regular or repeated basis
- Fatigue or tiredness
What is a repetitive strain injury
Repetitive strain injury is used as a broad term to describe many different conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and tenosynovitis.
Symptoms of a repetitive strain injury include:
- Pain
- Stiffness
- Swelling
- Numbness
- Tingling in the hands, wrists, fingers, forearms, elbows, shoulders, back or neck
- Discomfort when undertaking a particular task
- Diminishing of strength and co-ordination particularly in the hands.
It is worthwhile remembering that repetitive strain injury is largely a symptom of poor posture, not taking sufficient breaks and stress. Repetitive strain injury is frequently associated with desk work, however, workers on assembly lines, factories and even musicians can be affected by RSI.
