• Description:
  The purpose of this chapter is to integrate the basic science of injury, repair, and recovery with acute and chronic cumulative trauma disorders. The local cellular responses to repetitive forces are clearly outlined. Research findings based on animal models can explain the rise in the workplace incidence of repetitive strain injuries. Ergonomic adaptations and therapeutic interventions are discussed for the early stages of local tissue injury. However, peripheralization of the injury is not uncommon with continued excessive repetitive forces. The central consequences of overuse are highlighted based on laboratory and clinical science research. A clinical model of focal hand dystonia is used as example to support the hypothesis of aberrant central learning with chronic, excessive overuse of a limb. The chapter concludes by presenting evidence to support the effectiveness of complex learning based intervention strategies to remediate problems of chronic repetitive strain injuries.
