ABSTRACT

The specific types of repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) included in the current analysis are “diseases” diagnosed as synovitis, tenosynovitis, tendonitis, epicondylitis, bursitis, ganglion, carpal tunnel syndrome, vibration white finger disease, or other diseases of the synovium, tendon, bursa, arteries and nerves. The option of including accidental motionrelated “injury” claims with the same diagnoses as those listed above is discussed separately in Krammer (1992).
