Received Date: Sep 02, 2024 / Published Date: Sep 30, 2024
Abstract
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that results from the compression of the median nerve in the wrist, often exacerbated by workplace ergonomics. This abstract provides an overview of effective strategies for preventing CTS, particularly in occupational settings where repetitive hand movements and poor posture are prevalent. Key prevention tips include optimizing workstation design such as adjusting chair height, monitor position, and keyboard placement to promote neutral wrist alignment and reduce strain. Implementing regular breaks and stretching exercises can also mitigate the risk of developing symptoms. Furthermore, employee education on the importance of ergonomic practices is essential in fostering a proactive approach to workplace health. By adopting these preventive measures, organizations can enhance employee well-being, reduce the incidence of CTS, and improve overall productivity. This overview highlights the significance of ergonomics in preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and emphasizes the need for continuous awareness and education in the workplace.
