A form of repetitive stress injury caused by compression of the median nerve travelling through the carpal tunnel
Disorder found among frequent computer users, consisting of damage to nerves and tendons in the hands See also Repetitive strain injury
a disorder caused by compression of a nerve in the carpal tunnel (where the nerve passes through the wrist); characterized by discomfort and weakness in the hand
injury to the nerve pathway in the wrist that is often caused by extensive typing and can usually be prevented or treated by exercises and anti-inflammatory agents
A compression of the median nerve caused by swelling tendons in the carpal tunnel Symptoms include numbness, pain, and tingling in the thumb and middle fingers, weak grip and diminished strength in the hand
A condition caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, characterized especially by discomfort and disturbances of sensation in the hand
a condition in which a nerve in the wrist becomes inflamed and presses against the bones that make up the carpal tunnel, often resulting in pain Carpal tunnel syndrome is often caused by repetitive strain, and may also be a side effect of treatment with human growth hormone
Paresthesias (pain or numbness), affecting the thumb, index, middle and part of the ring finger
A painful condition caused by the swelling of the nerve that runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be caused by use of the computer keyboard Form more information on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, click here and scroll down Book Suggestion: Crs Computer-Related Syndrome : The Prevention & Treatment of Computer-Related Injuries
A nerve disorder affecting the hand that may occur in people with diabetes; caused by a pinched nerve
Compression of the median nerve at the wrist causing pain and numbness in the fingers
Where there is compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, resulting in sensory and motor disturbances of the hand
Occurs when the carpal tunnel space is reduced (e g when ther is swelling due to arthritis) The pressure on the (median) nerve causes pains and needles/numbness and/or pain in the hand
swelling of the tendons in the carpal tunnel in the wrist, can put pressure on the median nerve which also passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, this can lead to discomfort, pain, tingling, and muscular weakness
Condition in which the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, a narrow confined space Median nerve provides sensory and motor functions to the thumb and three middle fingers, many symptoms may result Occurs when the carpal tunnel space is reduced (e g when there is swelling due to arthritis)
a pathology caused by the deposit of amyloid at the fatty tissue level of the wrist, with compression of the median nerve and alteration of the movement of the hands
A condition characterized by pain and numbing or tingling sensations in the hand and caused by compression of a nerve in the carpal tunnel at the wrist. a medical condition in which you have a lot of pain and weakness in your wrist. Painful condition caused by repetitive stress to the wrist over time. The median nerve and the tendons that bend the fingers pass through the carpal tunnel on the inner side of the wrist, between the wrist (carpal) bones on three sides and a ligament on the fourth. Repetitive finger and wrist movements rub the tendons against the walls of the carpal tunnel and may make the tendons swell, squeezing the nerve. Numbness, tingling, and pain in the wrist and hand may progress to loss of muscle control. CTS is most common in assembly-line workers and computer keyboard users. Treatment may include avoidance of the causative activity, ergonomic workplace design, anti-inflammatory drugs, brace or splint use, and surgery
pressure on the median nerve as it enters the hand through a tunnel in the wrist
It is entrapment of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel This occurs due to swelling of the median nerve and/or the tendons of the wrist
