Treatment and management Table of contents Causes of repetitive strain injuries Symptoms of RSI Common RSI RSI and working at the computer ... Treatment and management of RSI Causes of repetitive strain injuries Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) are a category of injuries involving damage to muscles, tendons and nerves caused by overuse or misuse. Any combination of the following factors can lead to the overuse of some part of your body. Repetitive tasks: Small, rapid movements and/or tasks that are repeated over and over Awkward or fixed postures: Working in an awkward position or holding the same position for a long time Forceful movements: Using force or moving heavy loads to complete tasks Insufficient rest time: No time to relax during the above activities Unlike strains and sprains, which usually result from a single incident (called acute trauma), repetitive strain injuries develop slowly over time; thus, they are also called Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs). Other names for these injuries include Repetitive Stress Injury, Repetitive Motion Syndrome and Occupational Overuse Syndrome.

3. What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome And Repetitive Strain Injuries? What causes carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain injuries? Also a look at the symptoms and treatments. http://www.repetitive-strain.com/causes.html

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME? What Are The Causes? Repetitive and/or static wrist and finger flexion causes the flexor muscles which 'close' the hand to develop more strength than the wrist and finger extensor muscles that 'open' the hand. This quickly leads to a "muscle imbalance" of the wrist and hand because of the lack of activities that require direct stimulation of the extensor muscles; such as opening a door or holding onto the steering wheel of a car with the backside of the hands. This imbalance causes the carpal bones to shift into the carpal tunnel from the sides and from above, while the hands are in the palm down position. Performing repetitive wrist and finger flexion causes inflammation of the flexor tendons due to friction within the severely compressed carpal tunnel; ultimately aggravating the existing symptoms, and leading to possible irreversible damage of the underlying tendons, blood vessels and median nerve. Can The Symptoms Of These Injuries Be Reversed? Yes.

Wat is RSI? RSI R epetitive S train I njuries) is eigenlijk niet meer dan een "paraplu" begrip waaronder uiteenlopende, met repeterende bewegingen samenhangende, klachten van het bewegingsapparaat, worden samengevat In de literatuur worden ook wel de volgende synoniemen aangetroffen: RMI: repetitive movement injury; OOS: occupational overuse syndrome; CTD: cumulative trauma disorder) De door de SKB (Stichting Kwaliteitsbevordering Bedrijfsgezondheidszorg) gehanteerde definitie luidt: Werkgebonden aandoeningen aan de bovenste ledematen (handen, pols, armen en schoudergordel) en nekregio, die gerelateerd zijn aan het uitvoeren van repeterende handelingen. Er zijn vele factoren die kunnen bijdragen aan het ontstaan van de klachten en het beeld kent een groot aantal verscijningsvormen. Slechts in ongeveer 10 - 20% van de gevallen van RSI kan er een "echte" diagnose worden gesteld. Meestal kan niet verder worden gekomen dan een beschrijving. Specifieke ziektebeelden zijn bijvoorbeeld het carpaal tunnel syndroom (CTS), de tennis- en de golferselleboog (epicondylitis lateralis resp. medialis). Het verdient mogelijk de voorkeur het begrip "RSI" te reserveren voor die gevallen waarin geen duidelijk diagnose kan worden gesteld. Klachten zoals pijn, gevoelloosheid, tintelingen, krachtsverlies, zwelling, crepiteren en een gestoorde coördinatie in de bovenste ledematen of nekstreek moeten doen denken aan RSI. Met name als deze klachten ontstaan en / of verergeren door bepaalde risicovolle activiteiten in de werk- of hobbysfeer, is RSI zeer waarschijnlijk.

We employ them as marvelously sophisticated instruments of flexibility and strength, and when they are damaged, we anguish." - Keith L. Moore, Clinically Oriented Anatomy As more and more work, education and recreation involves computers, everyone needs to be aware of the hazard of Repetitive Strain Injury to the hands and arms resulting from the use of computer keyboards and mice. This can be a serious and very painful condition that is far easier to prevent than to cure once contracted, and can occur even in young physically fit individuals. It is not uncommon for people to have to leave computer-dependent careers as a result, or even to be disabled and unable to perform tasks such as driving or dressing themselves. I've faced this problem myself since March of 1994, and many friends are also affected to varying degrees. I am not a health care professional, but I hope on this page to provide a very brief introduction to RSI for the benefit of students who may not be aware of the potential for a life-altering injury.

Musicians and Injuries Books Tapes Maybe it's a nagging ache in your thumbs, every time you practice at the piano. Perhaps there have been long rehearsals for that crucial recital, and now you notice stabbing pains in your forearms. Or you find yourself struggling with hands that have become increasingly clumsy, or numb. It may be that you are even waking up at night with pain in your arms, or your back, or your neck. Well, it's just a part of being a serious musician, right? And after all, you can't stop practicing - there's too much at stake, and music is your very life! Does this sound familiar? Instrumental musicians are a special risk group for repetitive motion injuries. Sizable percentages of them develop physical problems related to playing their instruments; and if they are also computer users, their risks are compounded and complicated. My own computer-induced tendinitis was very much aggravated by my guitar and violin playing and did not begin to improve until I stopped all playing for several months. Instrumental injuries often include the same conditions experienced from computer overuse Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Tendinitis, Bursitis

Bibliography Introduction So there I was at my Mac, typing away at the Great American Novel. I was nursing my third bourbon, my contact was late, and my wisdom tooth was acting up again. A hush fell over the bar as a stunning blond appeared. Every eye in the place followed her. She swayed her hips suggestively as she sidled up to me at the bar. As casually as I could, I glanced her way. I clinked the ice in my glass - twice. I knew my contact's name was Alex, but I didn't realize "he" was a "she."; This changes everything, I thought. Suddenly a sharp, searing pain shot up my right arm. I completely forgot about Alex and her troubles and concentrated on mine. I clutched my arm, massaged it a bit, and kept on typing (mistake). I ended up in the emergency room and found that I probably had an RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury). The doctor prescribed ice packs, rest, and a double dose of Aleve. Since that fateful day in late December last year, I've learned a lot about RSI. I've seen a specialist, undergone physical therapy, and have improved to the point where I can type for short periods. I'd like to share what I've learned, in the hope that you can avoid the same experience.

Subscribe Advertise NATURAL LIFE MAGAZINE #40 Issue Index Contact Protect Yourself From Repetitive Strain Injuries by Jeff Johnston Home business owners who work with computers for long periods are prone to repetitive injuries resulting from improper work habits and poor facility design. Many Natural Life readers are running or are setting up their own home-based businesses. Computers and other office and telecommunications equipment make this possible for thousands of people. However, this equipment, especially the computer, is causing physical problems known as repetitive strain injuries or cumulative trauma disorders for many people. These injuries include carpal tunnel syndrome in the hand, and tendonitis in the wrist and elbow. Rotator cuff tendonitis of the shoulder also occurs, but is less prevalent. Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) are caused, as the name suggests, by repeated use of the hands and arms. Our bodies were not designed to do the same tasks repeatedly for long periods. However, it is not the amount of use so much as the improper positioning of the hands and arms over that long period that causes the injuries. This combination of repetition and unnatural positions results in pain and irritation that, if ignored, can result in surgery and restricted use of the hand or arm. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) symptoms include tingling in the thumb and fingers (except the little finger), numbness and loss of sensitivity. CTS is caused by compression of the median nerve, which passes through the wrist and the carpal canal. The carpal canal, or tunnel, is created by an arch of wrist bones. The transverse carpal ligament, which stretches across the wrist on the palm side, closes the arch (see illustration below). Nine flexor tendons also run through the carpal tunnel. Repetitive flexion and extension of the hand cause the tissue on the tendons to enlarge. This exerts pressure on the nerve, which slows electrical conductivity, resulting in the symptoms noted above.

Welcome To MIT's RSI Information Page What is an RSI? Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) are injuries involving damage to muscles, tendons and nerves caused by overuse or misuse. They most commonly affect the hands, wrists, elbows, arms, shoulders, back, or neck. Unlike strains and sprains, which usually result from a single incident (called acute trauma), repetitive strain injuries develop slowly over time; thus, they are also called Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD) or Muscular Skeletal Disorders (MSD). Who is at risk? The majority of RSIs are related to computer use, though other repetitive work tasks, such as pipetting and heavy lifting, as well as hand-intensive sports and hobbies such as knitting or playing a musical instrument, can cause or aggravate an RSI. Working at a computer puts you at risk for an RSI because part of your body is held in a static posture while other parts move incessantly. Both static postures and constant activity can cause first microscopic and then macroscopic damage to biologic tissues. If allowed to progress, an RSI can develop into a permanent disability. Any combination of the following factors can lead to an RSI: Repetition: The repetition of small, rapid movements, such as keying or mousing, for long concentrated hours.
