Repetive Strain Injury

Part of my project at university, I was wondering does any of cabin crew on this forum or know anyone that got RSI from working on any airlines?

Any information would be great!

I don't know if its RSI, but i know at least 4 crew members who have had problems with their shoulders after years working on the B737 a/c opening and closing the Door L1 repeatedly. They are all female crew and all have had rotator cuff type injuries?

That is interesting and I would consider that to be RSI. Do you know how long they have been working on the B737 and what happened to them now? did they get any treatment?
