Hello Sachiko,
Thank you for that I thought I may have done something when I copied the
references over!
Sorry, OOS stands for Occupational Overuse Syndrome - the old RSI or
repetition strain injury. Here in Australia, we changed the name because RSI
was a misnomer - did not really reflect the condition at all because RSI was
not always caused by repetition and not a true injury as such and it had a
huge stigma when the epidemic came through. I think you call it
cervicobrachial disorder in Japan - is that correct?
Cheers,
Anna.
