RSI, or repetitive strain injury is a condition that affects the muscles, tendons and nerves of the Hands, Arms, Shoulders and Neck.
RSI is most commonly linked with production line work and those jobs which involve repeated rapid movements and / or for long periods of time.
It has also been linked to those who use keyboards and a mouse.
Any type of work where repeated movement is a regular feature can cause RSI to develop.
Symptoms occur as a result of continuous muscle contraction, which is caused by being in a fixed position for too long, where the limbs are unsupported or supported in an incorrect manner.
The condition can affect the muscles, tendons and nerves of the;
Hands
Arms
Shoulders
Neck
Reported symptoms include;
Pain
Swelling
Tenderness
Pins and needles
Numbness
Muscle weakness
Loss of movement
Establishing causation is the main priority in such cases and has proven difficult in the past. For an RSI claim to succeed, there must be a clear diagnosis and a causative link between the medical condition and the work environment.
If you wish to make a work injury rsi claim in such circumstances, it may be prudent to make a note of the exact RSI condition keep a record of when the symptoms first occurred , enquire whether anybody else in the workplace has suffered from the same condition.
There are a number of state benefits available to victims and their carers. A specialist Solicitor can not only pursue compensation claims for sufferers on a true No Win, No Fee* basis, but also provide advice and assistance with applications in order to maximise benefit entitlement.
