Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Office Workers

Questionnaires completed by 969 office workers under the age of 50 revealed that about one in five experience wrist and/or hand symptoms commonly associated with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The researchers estimate that working without breaks can increase the risk for hand and wrist symptoms by up to 88% and that taking frequent breaks could reduce the incidence of CTS among office workers.
