Abstract
Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a painful condition that can sometimes result in substantial disability. RSI often affects the neck, the back and particularly the arms and hands, as a result of soft-tissue injury from repeated movement. RSI is found primarily in adults who perform repeated movements such as those involved in typing or playing musical instruments. It is commonly named according to the part of the body affected, e.g. tennis elbow, Rubick's wrist and playstation thumb.
