The increasing size of the geriatric population is anticipated to drive the growth of the repetitive strain injury (RSI) treatment market in the coming years. The geriatric population includes individuals aged 65 years and above. Older adults are more susceptible to repetitive strain injuries due to age-related changes in muscles and tendons, such as reduced muscle strength and mass, along with decreased flexibility. For example, in January 2024, according to a report published by the Pew Research Center, a US-based organization, the geriatric population showed a growth rate of 0.2% in 2024 and is projected to increase to 0.5% by 2054. Therefore, the expanding geriatric population is driving the growth of the repetitive strain injury (RSI) treatment market.
