AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the claimant's request for compensation regarding shoulder tendonitis, ruling it was not an occupational disease. The court found that the inflammation resulted from general physical strain inherent to the profession rather than a specific, excessive workload or unique hazard. Consequently, the claim failed because the injury did not meet the strict criteria for occupational disease recognition under Finnish law.
