Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a condition caused by repeated movements or sustained awkward positions, leading to stress and damage in muscles, tendons, and nerves. Common in activities like typing, mouse use, or manual work, RSI results in symptoms such as pain, stiffness, tingling, or weakness. It develops gradually over time if proper ergonomic practices and breaks are not followed. Preventing RSI involves maintaining good posture, taking regular breaks, and using ergonomic equipment to reduce strain on the body during repetitive tasks.
