Repetitive and forceful movements of the hand as predictors of treatment for pain in the distal upper extremities

In men, occupational exposure to hand force more than doubled the risk of seeking treatment. The results for exposure to repetition were less clear. In women, we could not find any indications of an increased risk neither for force nor for repetition.
