Rsi — the new epidemic
RSI — THE NEW EPIDEMIC
Statistics are vague about the common chronic pain ailment — repetitive strain injury (RSI), which was so prevalent in Australia in the 1980's that it was known as 'kangaroo paw'. RSI is now the commonly used phrase used to describe a variety of soft tissue injuries or ailments. It is commonly seen in keyboard operators and production workers, who develop painful hands, arms and, strangely, other areas of the body following repetitive tasks.
It is a commonly held belief that RSI sprang upon an unsuspecting Australian public in the early 1980's as a result of an industrial campaign by concerned unionists. In fact, RSI dates back to the Middle Ages when people in occupations such as spinning, cobbling and violin-making were said to be afflicted by painful hands and arms.
Other common conditions now brought under the umbrella of RSI include tenosynovitis, cervico-brachial syndrome, shoulder-hand syndrome and occupational overusage syndromes.
