Vibration sense in the upper limb in patients with repetitive strain injury and a group of at-risk office workers

Patients with repetitive strain injury and office workers using computer keyboard equipment are found to have a minor polyneuropathy, whereas the office workers demonstrate early signs of the condition.

Abstract

Patients may have a minor polyneuropathy, whereas the office workers demonstrate early signs of the condition. Quantitative measurement of vibration perception may prove useful in patient assessment and for detection of the early onset of RSI in the work environment.
