Article Synopsis
- The study examined how occupational factors like forceful gripping and wrist positions affect the movement and deformation of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel.
- Participants performed different gripping tasks with varying force levels and wrist positions while researchers measured nerve movement and size using ultrasound technology.
- Results showed that extreme wrist positions, especially 30° ulnar deviation, increased nerve travel and altered its cross-sectional area, suggesting potential links to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome from these workplace activities.
