This can lead to repetitive stress injuries. Using ergonomic-based principles we can reduce our exposure to cumulative trauma injury by reducing job risk factors. Tendons connect muscles to bone. They are rope-like materials that are smooth, white and shiny. They do not stretch or contract like muscles, but simply transfer your muscle movement to the bone.
Ligaments are strong fibers that connect one bone to another to form a joint.
They bind your bones and limit their range of motion. Muscles create movement by contracting and expanding. Causes of CTDs Repetitive stress injuries are not caused by a single event such as a fall or being struck by an object, although the pain and suffering may be the same. They result from repeated exposure to ergonomic stress factors. The following are leading causes of CTDs.
