RSI is a term used for injuries in muscles, nerves and tendons caused by repetitive movement and/or overuse. RSI can affect almost any joint, muscle, tendon or ligament of the human body. RSIs are associated with repetitive actions, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, and sustained or awkward positions.
