Repeated Exposures

Cumulative-trauma disorders occur over time and are often the result of poorly designed work environments or poorly designed tools. The body parts most at risk of being exposed to cumulative trauma include the back, hand, wrist, forearm, and neck. The trauma may occur because muscles are repeatedly stressed, tendons become inflamed, nerves get pinched, or blood flow becomes restricted.
