Understand the cause and effect relationship of job and personal risk factors that can lead to RSIs. Follow recommended prevention and control techniques to ensure a safer office environment. Too often, because of our body's great range of motion and ability to adapt to the surrounding environment, we adjust only ourselves rather than our environment and ourselves. 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.
