Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is the term for an injury caused by excessive use of muscles and ligaments across a joint.

In the real world, this occurs to people who perform the same tasks and motions, over and over again throughout the day. As an example, carpal tunnel syndrome, can be caused by people using a computer and performing data entry. You might also see this with a person who is in the construction field, constantly using a hammer.

The injuries will fall into two categories: Acute and Chronic.

Acute are injuries that happen and will heal over time, generally with rest and a change of motion to the involved joint.

Chronic injuries and long term issues which have been left untreated and therefore unresolved.

What Causes Repetitive Strain Injuries?

As notes previously, RSi injuries occur with repetitive motion. Here ae some of the actions tht can cause this type of injury:

1. Lifting heavy objects continually

2. Auto accidents and mortocycle accidents

3. Construction jobs such as carpentry or roofing

4. Working on a computer

5. Repetitive tasks

If you have been hurt as a result of doing repetitive jobs, you need to consult with a lawyer to protect your rights as a result of the injury.
