As mentioned, RSI is caused by trauma to the body due to repetitive actions. Some occupations in general are at higher risk of developing RSI due to the nature of their jobs. These include:
Office or deskbound workers who spend a lot of time typing in front of the monitor.
Manual workers or factory workers who have to lift heavy objects or complete repetitive packaging duties.
Occupations that require a high degree of precision and control with the hands such as a seamstress or a dentist.
Professional athletes that train rigorously and engage in high-intensity sports. A sports injury can also affect other joints of your body, leading to painful conditions such as meniscus injury or plantar fasciitis. For all such conditions, you can visit our qualified doctor in Singapore.
