This research analyzed the incidence of cases of Repetitive Strain Injury - RSI/Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disease - WRMSD in the municipality of Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, from social security records between 2008 and 2018. This is exploratory research with a qualitative and quantitative approach using descriptive statistics techniques. Data collection occurred with the municipal executive management of the INSS in consultation with the SUIBE (Unified System of Information on Benefits) e-SiC (Electronic System of the Citizen Information Service) systems. During the analyzed period, there was an increase in RSI/WRMSD cases in the municipality, totaling 599 accidents, mainly in 2014, reaching about 100 occurrences.
