Certain jobs have a high incidence of repetitive stress injuries. In fact, any job that requires a single movement to be repeated over and over can lead to injuries, as the body wears down from the repetition. A common example of this is jobs that require you to sit at the computer for long periods of time, which can result in carpal tunnel syndrome and other injuries of the elbow, shoulders and wrists. One less known type of repetitive stress injury or disorder (RSD) affects workers that stay in a specific position for long hours. This includes sitting, standing or crouching. Assembly line workers often suffer from this type of injury. People who stock shelves, work in packing companies, work in pipe setting and even mechanics have to deal with these injuries as well. Anything that requires overhead work is especially damaging to the spine, neck and shoulders and often results in injury.
