Repetitive strain injuriesof the upper extremities refer to pain in the forearm, wrist and hand, caused by excessive strain. Diagnoses include tenosynovitis, epicondylitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Treatment is aimed at alleviating pain, restoring normal physical functioning and maintain ability to work. Preventive interventions have shown some attenuation of discomfort but no effects on disease prevalance or sick leave days. Return to work interventions seem to decrease length of sickness absences. Part time work has hastened return to work and decreased sickness absences in musculoskeletal disorders.
上肢重复性劳损是指因过度劳损导致的前臂、手腕和手部疼痛。诊断包括腱鞘炎、肱骨外上髁炎和腕管综合征。治疗旨在减轻疼痛、恢复正常身体功能并维持工作能力。预防性干预措施已显示出能减轻一些不适，但对疾病患病率或病假天数没有影响。重返工作岗位干预措施似乎能缩短病假时长。兼职工作加快了肌肉骨骼疾病患者重返工作岗位的速度，并减少了病假天数。
