Repetitive Strain Injury and Fist Assist
A repetitive strain injury (RSI), sometimes referred to as repetitive stress injury, is a gradual buildup of damage to muscles, tendons, and nerves from repetitive motions. RSIs are common and may be caused by many different types of activities, including:

- grasping tools
- working on an assembly line
- training for sports
Repetitive strain injury comes by many names, which include:
- De Quervain’s tendinosis (tenosynovitis), which affects your wrist and thumb.
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis).
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis).
