Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), also called cumulative trauma disorder (CTD), occupational overuse syndrome, or work related upper limb disorder (WRULD), is any of a loose group of conditions resulting from overuse of a tool, such as a computer keyboard or musical instrument or other activity that requires repeated movements. It is a syndrome that affects muscles, tendons and nerves in the hands, arms and upper back. The medically accepted condition in which it occurs is when muscles in these areas are kept tense for very long periods of time, due to poor posture and/or repetitive motions.
It is most common among assembly line workers, computer workers, store checkout clerks, and professional musicians. Good posture, ergonomics and limiting time in stressful working conditions can help prevent or halt the progress of the disorder. Stretches, strengthening exercises, and biofeedback training to reduce neck and shoulder muscle tension can help heal existing disorders.
Those that work at computers or assembly line workers need to ensure they get enough breaks but many few do. It is your employers responsibility to ensure your posture is correct by ensuring you have a proper chair and that the amount of time spent doing these repetitive motions is limited.
If you are suffering from Repetitive Strain Injury then you could be entitled to compensation. Claiming compensation is relatively simple with no cost to you. You will need to enlist the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer as they will need to prove where the liability is held. You will only be entitled to compensation if the accident was not your fault. They will do all the work for you meaning you can just sit back and wait.
Claiming compensation for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence is your legal and civil right. The money you receive will go towards making a better future for yourself. You might not be able to work in your job anymore and are worried about finding another suitable job. You might have to retrain which will of course cost.
