Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) is the generic term for injuries caused by repetitive stress on muscles and skeletal structures. The other options, such as repetitive trauma syndrome and ergonomic strain injuries, are similar terms but not as commonly used in the medical community. Musculo-skeletal trauma may include acute injuries from accidents or falls, but it does not specifically refer to the repetitive stress injuries caused by repetitive motion on the job.
