Cumulative trauma disorders are also called repetitive motion disorders (RMDs), overuse syndromes, regional musculoskeletal disorders, repetitive motion injuries, or repetitive strain injuries. Others say they feel a sensation of swelling in the sore limb. Some patients with arm symptoms sense a loss of strength and may drop items because of problems with coordination. Symptoms often worsen with activity and ease with rest. Usually the best treatment for cumulative trauma disorders is rest from the activities that caused the problem or a change in work practices. Medical treatments will vary for each type of repetitive motion disorder such as Wrist splint to keep the wrist from bending, Anti-inflammatory medications, Steroid injections Physical and/or occupational therapy and surgery.
