The most common reasons for such pain are the overuse or over-stretching of a muscle or group of muscles, or arthralgia, which is a symptom of infection, injury and illnesses in particular, osteoarthritis; (Hackmon et al, 2006). As a result, this group of practitioners is often prone to developing one form of WRMSD or another. These are often referred to interchangeably as musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs), repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) and WRMSDs. http://www.aota.org/DocumentVault/AJOT/Systematic-Guide.aspx [Accessed 29 July 2014].
