Briefly describe RSI and CTS. Why are they problems?

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) refers to a range of conditions resulting from repetitive motions, often affecting muscles, tendons, and nerves, leading to pain and discomfort, particularly in the upper limbs. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a specific type of RSI caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist, resulting in symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. Both conditions pose significant problems as they can severely impact an individual’s ability to perform daily tasks and work effectively, leading to decreased productivity and quality of life. Preventive measures and ergonomic adjustments are essential to mitigate these risks.
