I would like to hear your perspectives on repetitive strain injury (RSI).
Some researchers consider RSI a legitimate work-related musculoskeletal disorder, while others argue that the term is too broad and that symptoms may have multiple contributing factors.
In your opinion:
• Does RSI exist as a distinct workplace condition?
• If so, should it always be regarded as a compensable workplace injury, or should compensation depend on evidence that the work activities caused or significantly contributed to the condition?
I would appreciate hearing your experiences from ergonomics, occupational health, manufacturing, healthcare, or other Human Factors Engineering fields.
