Abstract
Use of these terms to describe work related musculoskeletal disorders has been criticised because they suggest a pathological mechanism that is usually not proved. A work related musculoskeletal disorder may be caused by a single strain or trauma, not necessarily a repetitive or cumulative one. Furthermore, both psychological and social factors play an important role in the genesis and perpetuation of work related musculoskeletal disorders.Keywords
