repeated trauma injury
Explanation:
2) Repeated trauma injury

This is the next most common group of injuries. These injuries occur over a period of time and are due to a repetitive action the worker is required to make such as heavy lifting or if a worker is required to repetitively perform some action as part of their work duties that can result in repetitive injury to the arms, shoulder, neck and back. In repeated trauma cases, some employers will try to prove that the injury was a result of an activity outside of work. However, a doctor will most likely support the injured worker if he or she was subject to repetitive action as part of a job and he or she had no past problems and developed problems when he or she was working.
