[RSI-repetitive strain injury--a work-related disease?].
It is not scientifically proven that problems in the neck, shoulder, arm and hand which patients complain of after repetitive activities at work, are due to structural damage caused by physical stress at the workplace. As a consequence, from the orthopedic point of view, RSI cannot be accepted as a work-related disease.
