Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that occurs mainly in the wrists. But people can get it in other areas of the body too, such as the elbows. It is caused by the nerves getting pinched because of repetitive movements that damage the delicate tendons and bones. Since the wrists are fairly small in size, there isn't enough room for the nerves to move freely enough. So some of them get trapped. The constant pressure on the nerves makes the wrists hurt very badly. But the usual treatment…

Effectiveness of splinting and splinting plus local steroid injection in moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome; A Randomized control clinical Trial Introduction Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) which defined as “a symptomatic compression neuropathy of the median nerve at the level of the wrist” is considered as the most common disabling neuromascular condition of the upper extremities(1,2). With an incidence rate of 276:100000 per year, it known as the most prevalent entrapment neuropathy,…

- This condition can be treated and should begin as soon possible with a doctors guidance. - Patients should check to make sure they don’t have an underlying cause for carpal tunnel syndrome such as diabetes or arthritis. If so they should treat those underlying conditions before they seek treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. - Treatment generally involves resting the hand and wrist for about two weeks or longer, and avoiding strenuous activities that involve the hand and wrist. - Applying…

Wrist Splint, Adult A wrist splint is a device that keeps your wrist from moving. A splint supports your wrist like a cast, but it is more flexible. It can be removed or loosened. The supporting part of a splint does not completely surround your wrist. It is held in place with an elastic band or straps. You may need a wrist splint if you have hurt your wrist or if you have a condition that causes swelling. Depending on the type of wrist problem you have, your splint may extend up your arm,…

prevent it from getting any worse is to use a keyboard pad, making sure that the desk is not too high for you, and not causing you to have your wrists completely rest flat on the desk in a prolonged extended position which would cause compression to the median nerve. Adjust the tension of the keys so they can be depressed without excessive force. You could also try to keep the keyboard closer to your body so that there is less movement in the shoulders and no leaning over. And stretching the…

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a hand injury which occurs at wrist joint and causes several problems at this joint, such as finger numbness, pain and muscle weakness. It happens as a result of compression of the median nerve which innervated thumb, index and middle finger (ASSH, 1990). This compression is caused by pattern of hand use, fracture at wrist joint and other medical conditions, for instance diabetes, obesity and rheumatoid arthritis (NHS, 2014). There are two ways to treat carpal…

Obesity is one of the fastest growing diseases in the world today with more than one-third of US adults and one-in-six US children considered obese, according to the Center for Disease Control (2014).
