The topic Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CTD) you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI).

Quick Summary:

• Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) is a common term for a wide range of injuries that describes the pain felt within muscles, nerves, and tendons, caused by repetitive movement and overuse
• Such repetitive movements and overuse of certain body parts are usually caused by occupations (such as construction-related, machine operations) and sports activities (such as basketball, gymnastics, bowling, etc.)
• The forearm, elbow, wrist, hands, neck, and shoulder are the most common parts of the body affected by these injuries
• Rest, physical therapy, or over-the-counter medications, usually form the initial recommendations to treat Repetitive Stress Injuries. However, surgery is an option, if these aforementioned treatment methods are unsuccessful

The following are several types of Repetitive Stress Injuries. These include:

• Bursitis: Bursitis is a condition that occurs when the bursa becomes irritated and inflamed, causing the bursa sac to expand
• Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS): The carpal tunnel is a small rigid passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments, at the base of the hand. This passageway protects a key central nerve within the hand and 9 tendons that allow the fingers to function. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the tissues that surround the tendons within the wrist swell and put excessive pressure on the median nerve
• Diffuse RSI: Diffuse RSI is a condition in which an individual may complain of pain. However, on a physical examination by the healthcare professional, nothing adverse or abnormal may be observed
• Dupuytren's contracture: Dupuytren’s contracture predominantly affects the ring finger, followed by the little finger, middle finger, and index finger. It is a common deformity of the hand characterized by an abnormal thickening of the fibrous tissue layer beneath the skin of the palm and fingers
• Tennis elbow: Tennis elbow is a painful condition involving the tendons that attach to the forearm muscles on the outside (lateral part) of the elbow. It mostly occurs, when these tendons of the elbow are overworked and become inflamed
• Ganglion cyst: A ganglion cyst is characterized as a benign non-cancerous fluid-filled lump that commonly develops within the hand or wrist, along the surrounding tendons and joints. They may also develop in several locations, such as in the ankles and feet. However, this abnormality is mainly observed to develop on the back of the wrist
• Raynaud’s disease: Raynaud’s disease is a condition in which the blood flow to a body extremity is interrupted. This disease usually affects the fingers
• Rotator cuff syndrome: Inflammation of tendons and muscles within the shoulder
• Tendinitis: Tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon
• Tenosynovitis: It is an inflammation of the sheath surrounding a tendon, in particular the inner lining of the tendon sheath
• Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS): TOS is an uncommon condition used to illustrate a collection of disorders that describe the compression of nerves or blood vessels in the passageway, between the clavicle (collar bone) and first rib (called the thoracic outlet)
• Trigger finger: Trigger finger is a common deformity that occurs, when the extensor tendon in one of the fingers or thumbs, become locked in a certain fixed position
