	Repetitive Strain Injury Information and Resources.
		Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI's) have achieved pandemic proportions during the past fifteen years, affecting millions of individuals on a worldwide scale and costing the business and private sectors hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
		In the case of Repetitive Strain Injuries affecting the upper extremity, the prime cause of injury is the continuous repetitive and/or static overuse of muscles in unidirectional movement patterns, which are used to perform most work and recreational activities.
		Repetitive strain injuries affect millions of individuals each year.

		Repetitive strain injury is a class of musculoskeletal disorders in which chronic discomfort, pain and functional impairment may develop as a result of numerous repeated movements.
		In a recent series of studies by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, [5] the incidence of repetitive strain injury in newspaper workers was found to be as high as 40 percent.
		Occupational factors associated with repetitive strain injury include a sustained and awkward posture, excessive manual force, high rates of repetitive movement and unusual or forceful movement of weaker body parts or parts of the body with a mechanical disadvantage in leverage.

	Musculoskeletal diseases: Repetitive strain injury
		Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a term that refers broadly to a range of conditions that are usually caused or aggravated by repetitive motions, forceful movements, awkward postures, and ergonomic hazards (such as poor workstation design).
		Examples of RSIs to the shoulder are rotator cuff tendonitis (inflammation of the tendons that move the shoulder [rotator cuff] or bursitis (inflammation of the subacromial bursae adjacent to the rotator cuff tendons), and injury (rupture of one or all of the rotator cuff tendons).
		These are caused by repetitive overhead movements of the shoulder (such as throwing a baseball, swimming the crawl, or repetitive lifting of the arms).

	BBC News \| HEALTH \| RSI 'linked to psychology'
		One of the common symptoms of repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a complex condition that may be partly caused by psychological factors, say researchers.
		They found that the concept that the pain was caused purely by repetitive movements in the arms or wrists, such as typing, to be false.
		They argue that terms such as repetitive strain injury are far too simplistic to describe symptoms which can be very complex and unlikely to be the result of a single cause.

		Repetitive strain injuries are the nation's most common and costly occupational health problem, affecting hundreds of thousands of American workers and costing more than $20 billion a year in worker's compensation, so employers have long been interested in the connection between the two conditions.
		The purpose of the study was to observe early changes in nerves caused by repetitive strain that lead to chronic pain and eventual degenerative problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tennis elbow or other serious neural and musculoskeletal injuries.
		The connection between this "off" feeling and possible neural and musculoskeletal injuries may not be immediately apparent to the employee or employer, since actual pain is rare at this early stage of injury.
