Carpal tunnel syndrome is an unpleasant and very painful health problem. While it is generally believed that it only affects people working at a computer, this is not true. In fact, much wider groups of people are at risk. Are you one of them?
Carpal tunnel can be thought of as a ‘pathway’ of bones and ligaments in the wrist. A nerve responsible for sensation and mobility in the hand passes through the pathway. It controls the tendons and muscles of the hand, arm and forearm. Stereotyped loading and monotonous activity damages this part of the musculoskeletal system, the “tunnel” narrows and puts pressure on the nerve. Even inflammation can arise. There are great pains in the wrist, which can extend to the shoulder and back. Gradually, the strength and sensitivity of the hand is lost.
A person may not even be aware of the initial symptoms. After all, we usually pay little attention to upper limb fatigue. Equally subtle is the slight disturbance in the coordination of movements. Tingling, tingling, twitching and pain may follow. Swelling of the hand and fingers also accompanies the symptom, and the sufferer has difficulty with normal movements, such as clenching a fist, squeezing a doorknob, or holding a mobile phone.
According to professional practice, carpal tunnel syndrome is most often suffered by women aged 40-50 years. However, all those who perform manual, heavy andstereotyped work – workers, cooks, people working at a computer, but also athletes. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are also at high risk of developing the disease; overweight people are also at risk.
Preventing the onset of this unpleasant disease is very simple. However, it is important to observe regularity. Do you work at a computer? Take short breaks of a few seconds every hour to exercise your hands and wrists. If you’re not typing on the keyboard, take your hands off the desk and circle your wrists. A specially shaped mouse pad can also be a valuable preventative measure – it features a soft, convex arch that keeps your wrist and hand in alignment.
