Workplace Ergonomics
Workplace Ergonomics is the science of fitting workplace conditions and job demands to the capabilities of employess. Ergonomic principles are used to improve the "fit" between the worker and the workplace. A practical approach to Ergonomics considers the match between the person, the equipment they use the work processes and the work environment.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome simply means that there is a compression of the median nerve in the hand. This nerve sits inside a tunnel in the hand whose floor and walls consist of bones known as carpal bones. The roof of this tunnel is a structure called the transverse carpal ligament. Besides the nerve, there are nine tendons which flex the fingers and thumb and run in the canal.Carpal Tunnel Syndrome comprises 13% of all workplace injuries.
By doing ergonomic exercises, we can avert carpal tunnel syndrome,neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain. etc. These are few carpal tunnel syndrome/erogonomics related links which is useful to know more about that
