How can repetitive strain injury occur?

Answer 1

Repetitive strain injury (RSI) occurs when repetitive motions or overuse of specific muscle groups lead to strain, inflammation, or damage to muscles, tendons, and nerves. Common activities that can contribute to RSI include typing, using a mouse, or performing manual tasks without adequate breaks or ergonomic support. Poor posture and improper technique can exacerbate the risk. Over time, the cumulative effect of these repetitive actions can result in pain, swelling, and reduced function in the affected areas.
