Hi Rajesh,

Some good/explanatory articles on RSI in general are:

Aptel, M. Aublet-Cuvelier, A. Cnockaert, JC. (2002). Work-related musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. Joint Bone Spine. (69) p546-555

Barr, A. E., and Barbe, M. F. (2002). Pathophysiological tissue changes associated with repetitive movement: A review of the evidence. Physical Therapy Reviews. Vol 82 (2). Pp 173-187

Buckle, P. (1997). Upper Limb Disorders and Work. The importance of physical and psychosocial factors. Journal of Psychosomatic Research. 43 (1) p17-25

Reilly, P. A. (1995). Repetitive strain injury’: from Australia to the UK. Journal of Psychosomatic Research. Vol 39 (6). Pp 783-788

MacFarlane, GJ. Hunt, IM. Silman, AJ. (2000). Role of mechanical and psychosocial factors in the onset of forearm pain: prospective population based study. British medical journal. 321 (16) p1-5

Yassi, A (1998) Repetitive Strain Injuries. Occupational Medicine: 349, 943-47

They touch on a range of issues deemed important in RSI (Biological-psychological-social). Hope this helps - if you have trouble getting them, let me know - I may be able to help you out with one or two

Best wishes,

Rachie
