Any employee who carries out a task which requires the same movements for large parts of their shift is at risk of suffering repetitive strain injury (RSI).
There are two types of RSI, type 1 and 2.
Individuals suffering from type 1 may suffer from a pain or tenderness in their muscles or joints, stiffness, a throbbing, tingling or numb sensation, weakness, or cramps.
Due to the outward showing symptoms of type 1, doctors will usually be able to diagnose the patient with a recognised condition.
However, type 2 sufferers may get a diagnosis of non-specific pain syndrome, since type 2 RSI victims suffer pain but show no other obvious symptoms which would enable a doctor to medically identify the problem.
The longer a person suffering from repetitive strain injury continues to perform the movements which harm their joints and muscles, the longer it will take for treatment to be effective.
If the victim is not diagnosed with RSI soon enough, then the damage done to an individual's muscular balance and the stability of the joints could be irreversible and the symptoms chronic.
If a worker is suffering from repetitive strain injury, then their employer should allow them to undertake a different task while they recover or be understanding about their need for time off work.
The pain and discomfort caused can reduce a person's quality of life and may mean that they are unable to do certain jobs, enjoy certain hobbies, or perform every-day tasks.
