CTDs are disorders
that are caused, precipitated, or aggravated by repeated exertions
or movements of the body. Continuous use or pressure over an extended
period of time results in wear and tear on tendons, muscles, and
sensitive nerve tissue. Most common parts of the body affected
are the wrists, hands, shoulders, back, neck, and eyes. CTDs are
groups of disorders with similar characteristics and may be referred
to as: repetitive trauma disorders, repetitive strain injuries,
overuse syndromes, regional musculoskeletal disorders, and work-related
disorders.
