Video Description:Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a waking nightmare, but an avoidable one! Check out these easy tips.
Transcript:Prolonged compression of a key nerve in the wrist can lead to the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome. Although the big pen and warm gloves may look like a caricature, this person is actually being serious about preventing carpal tunnel syndrome! Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common work-place complaint due to the overuse of the hands and fingers. Therefore, you may be able to stop it by using less force with your hands. For example, try a lighter stroke on the keyboard. Writing the old-fashioned way? Use a large pen with a soft-grip, and free-flowing ink to avoid excess pressure. And keep your hands warm! Prolonged exposure to cold can lead to stiffness. These simple changes may help stave off the onset of carpal tunnel—or at least provide some laughs!
