REPETITION
Repetition refers to a task or series of motions that are performed over and over again, with the variation. If tasks or motions are repeated frequently (e.g. every few seconds), fatigue and muscle-tendon strain can accumulate, which can result in permanent tissue damage. Frequent repetition of the same work activities can also exacerbate the effects of awkward postures and forceful exertions.P.O. Box 492 - Keene, New Hampshire USA 03431
