Most of the risk factors leading to the development of work-related upper body injuries have one thing in common: they are done repeatedly. Posture, localized pressure (leaning), movement and using force do not cause injury unless they are done repeatedly for an extended period of time. It takes time for changes to occur in the connective tissue and over time, these changes will indeed happen as the body responds to factors it perceives as harmful. Aspects Other Than RepetitionInjury risk factors not directly related to repetitive action include: previous injury, previous surgery, emotional stress, trauma and aging. The body responds to these factors at the connective tissue level as well. Symptoms, including wrist pain, shoulder pain, thumb joint pain, numb fingers and tingling hands are the signals that risk factors exist. The only way to permanently eliminate these symptoms is to consistently take corrective action.
