In order to diagnose your injury, your physician will inquire about your job and whether you perform any repetitive motions throughout your typical day. You can also expect a physical examination where your range of motion is tested as well as your reflexes, strength in the affected area, discomfort level, and presence of any painful inflammation. Other tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or an EMG may also be used to diagnose a repetitive motion disorder.
