Repetitive strain injury (RSI) (also known as repetitive stress injury, repetitive motion injuries, repetitive motion disorder (RMD), cumulative trauma disorder (CT), occupational overuse syndrome, overuse syndrome, regional musculoskeletal disorder) purported to be an injury of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems that has been falsely claimed to be due to simple non-forceful repetitive tasks, vibrations, mechanical compression (pressing against hard surfaces), or sustained or awkward positions.
The epidemic started in Australia and disappeared after the workmans' compensation laws were changed, drastically reducing the possibility of claimants and their attending doctors and lawyers from gaining vast sums of money from spurious claims.
