Work-related upper limb disorders (WRULDs) comprise a wide spectrum of diseases, whose range extends from the neck to the tips of the fingers. The names of these conditions - deriving from the part of the body affected and the victim's occupation - include the likes of Fishwife's Finger, Upholsterer's Hand, Gamekeeper's or Sausage-maker's Thumb, Cotton-twister's or Pizza-cutter's Wrist, and Tennis or Golfer's Elbow - not to mention Hop-picker's Gout and Slaughterer's Shoulder (OK, I made that last one up!)
