Facts:
|
|
|
Carpal Syndrome affects an estimated 3 percent of adult Americans and is approximately three times more common in women than in men.
High prevalence rates have been reported in persons who perform certain repetitive wrist motions, but the significance of this relationship continues to be challenged.
Although 30 percent of frequent computer users complain of hand paresthesias, only 10 percent meet clinical criteria for carpal tunnel syndrome,
and nerve conduction studies are abnormal in only 3.5 percent of these persons.
