Repetitive strain injuries diagnostic of agricultural workers

Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) present an increasingly common challenge to clinicians. They consist of a variety of musculoskeletal disorders, as well as some common periphe-ral-nerve entrapment and vascular syndromes. These injuries result from repetitive and forceful motion, awkward postures, an...
