Is a worker entitled to benefits under the Act for injuries that result from performing repetitive motions in the course of their job?
A. Yes. A worker who has sustained an injury, commonly referred to as “repetitive trauma,” is entitled to benefits under the Act. These types of injuries generally result from a worker’s repeated, consistent, physical movement of a particular part of their body in the performance of their normal work activity. Unfortunately, due to the fact that symptoms with these types of injuries manifest themselves over a period of time, the worker might not associate the eventual diagnosis of the injury as being work-related.
