Opis:
Work-related overload syndromes are chiefly associated with the upper limbs, where carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) plays a leading role. This article analyses methods of diagnosing CTS, with special emphasis on those that can be used by physicians in early diagnosis of CTS in workers doing monotonous work. It also discusses occupational (e.g., assembly work, typing, playing instruments, packaging and work associated with the use of a hammer or pruning scissors) and extra-occupational factors (e.g., post-traumatic deformation of bone elements of the carpal tunnel, degenerative and inflammatory changes in tendon sheaths, connective tissue hypertrophy or formation of crystal deposits) leading to CTS; diagnostic methods (subjective symptoms, physical examination, manual provocative tests, vibration perception threshold, electrophysiological examination and imaging methods); and therapeutic and preventive management tools accessible in occupational medicine practice.

Opis:
Objectives Association between carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and ulnar nerve entrapment at wrist remains controversial. The aim of the study has been to investigate the prevalence of Guyon’s canal syndrome amongst patients diagnosed with the CTS, occupationally exposed to repetitive wrist movements. Material and Methods The retrospective analysis of 310 patients (268 females, 42 males) representing the mean age of 52±7 years old hospitalized for the suspected occupational CTS was performed. Results In the analyzed cohort, 4 patients had undergone decompression of the Guyon’s canal in the right limbs. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) in the ulnar nerves performed during the hospitalization of those patients did not show any abnormalities. Nerve conduction studies revealed signs of the ulnar neuropathy (UN) at the wrist affecting exclusively sensory fibers for 6 patients. Only those 4 patients who had undergone the operation suffered from clinical symptoms of the UN before the surgery. In the case of the remaining patients, despite the NCS changes, signs suggestive of the UN at the wrist were not detected. In the case of the patients with the occupational CTS, no signs of the ulnar nerve dysfunction were recorded. Conclusions The frequency of ulnar nerve entrapment at the wrist among patients with the CTS is lower than that already reported. The low prevalence of ulnar involvement (3.2%) for the CTS patients in our study may be related to the relatively small number of the CTS hands with the severe changes in the NCS and/or other personal factor including anatomical variation of the Guyon’s canal borders and its contents.

Opis:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential use of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) in the post-operative treatment of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. A body of evidence validates the use of ESWT in various medical areas, mostly in nephrolithiasis, but also in a number of musculoskeletal conditions and in wound healing. Our knowledge about the use of ESWT in carpal tunnel syndrome seems sparse, which combined with a lack of reference values, forms a major limitation of the use of ESWT in this condition.

Opis:
In the practice of a general practitioner, the most common peripheral neuropathy reported by patients is carpal tunnel syndrome followed by cubital tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome results from entrapment of the median nerve at the level of the transverse carpal ligament, and cubital tunnel syndrome is a consequence of a compression on the ulnar nerve at the level of the groove of the humerus. The diagnosis of these syndromes is based on a specific interview, clinical examination and additional examinations. The aim of a clinical examination is to assess sensory disorders and muscle atrophy. Until today, standard additional examinations have been electrophysiological tests. At present, however, they are more and more frequently replaced by high-frequency sonography. As in other types of ultrasound examinations, the assessment of peripheral nerves, including the median and ulnar nerves, is non-invasive, well-tolerated by patients, relatively inexpensive and readily available. The examiner must possess knowledge on nerve topographic anatomy and criteria for ultrasound assessment of peripheral neuropathies. During an ultrasound examination, the following are assessed: shape, cross-sectional area of the nerve trunk, its echogenicity, vascularity and relation to adjacent tissues. Motor and sensorimotor nerves may also be assessed indirectly by analysing ultrasound images of the skeletal muscle innervated by these nerves. Furthermore, an important element of an ultrasound examination is dynamic assessment of the nerves. Carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes belong to so-called entrapment neuropathies whose common sonographic features are nerve oedema and hyperaemia proximally to the compression site.
W praktyce lekarza rodzinnego najczęstszą neuropatią obwodową zgłaszaną przez pacjentów jest zespół kanału nadgarstka, a drugą co do częstości – zespół rowka nerwu łokciowego. Zespół kanału nadgarstka jest wynikiem ucisku na nerw pośrodkowy na poziomie więzadła poprzecznego nadgarstka, a zespół rowka nerwu łokciowego – ucisku na nerw łokciowy na poziomie rowka kości ramiennej. Diagnostyka tych zespołów opiera się na charakterystycznym wywiadzie, badaniu klinicznym oraz badaniach pomocniczych. W badaniu klinicznym oceniane są zaburzenia czucia, zaniki mięśniowe. Do tej pory standardem badań pomocniczych były badania elektrofizjologiczne, które obecnie coraz częściej zastępowane są badaniem ultrasonograficznym z użyciem głowic wysokiej częstotliwości. Podobnie jak w przypadku innych rodzajów badań ultrasonograficznych diagnostyka nerwów obwodowych, w tym pośrodkowego i łokciowego, ma charakter nieinwazyjny, jest dobrze tolerowana przez pacjentów, względnie tania i łatwo dostępna. Od badającego wymagana jest wiedza co do anatomii topograficznej nerwów oraz kryteriów oceny ultrasonograficznej neuropatii obwodowych. W badaniu ultrasonograficznym ocenie podlegają kształt i pole przekroju poprzecznego pnia nerwowego, jego echogeniczność, unaczynienie oraz stosunek do otaczających tkanek. Nerwy ruchowe i czuciowo-ruchowe można oceniać również pośrednio poprzez analizę obrazu ultrasonograficznego zaopatrywanych przez nie brzuśców mięśni szkieletowych. Ważnym elementem badania ultrasonograficznego jest ponadto ocena dynamiczna nerwów. Zespół kanału nadgarstka i zespół rowka nerwu łokciowego należą do grupy neuropatii tzw. uciskowych, których cechą wspólną obrazu ultrasonograficznego jest obrzęk nerwu i jego przekrwienie proksymalnie od miejsca kompresji.

Opis:
INTRODUCTION: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an upper limb neuropathy that occurs as a result of compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel and is the most common mononeuropathy in the general population. The aim of the study was to assess the electrophysiological parameters of the median nerve before and 6 months after surgical treatment of CTS in patients with a history of smoking and comorbidities. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 84 patients with CTS who were eligible for surgery were enrolled in this prospective study. Electrophysiological tests were performed in the patients before and 6 months after surgery for CTS. RESULTS: The results of the study prove that smoking and diabetes significantly worsen the electrophysiological parameters in patients undergoing surgical treatment of CTS. CONCLUSIONS: Smoking and diabetes cause a significantly worse prognosis in patients after surgery for CTS.
WSTĘP: Zespół cieśni nadgarstka (ZCN) jest neuropatią kończyny górnej, pojawiającą się w wyniku ucisku nerwu pośrodkowego w kanale nadgarstka. Celem badania była ocena parametrów elektrofizjologicznych nerwu pośrodkowego przed leczeniem i 6 miesięcy po leczeniu operacyjnym ZCN u pacjentów obciążonych nikotynizmem oraz chorobami współistniejącymi. MATERIAŁ I METODY: Do prospektywnego badania włączono 84 pacjentów z rozpoznanym klinicznie i elektrofizjologicznie ZCN kwalifikowanych do leczenia operacyjnego. U każdego pacjenta przed leczeniem oraz 6 miesięcy po leczeniu operacyjnym ZCN przeprowadzono badanie elektrofizjologiczne. WYNIKI: Uzyskane wyniki dowodzą, że nikotynizm i cukrzyca istotnie pogarszają parametry elektrofizjologiczne u pacjentów poddanych leczeniu operacyjnemu ZCN. WNIOSKI: Nikotynizm i cukrzyca są niekorzystnymi rokowniczo czynnikami u osób operowanych z powodu ZCN.

Opis:
Objectives Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) may develop with repetitive and forced movements of the hands and wrists. In this study, we have aimed to evaluate whether the frequency of CTS is increased amongst female hairdressers as compared with unemployed women or not. Besides, we have also analyzed whether the functionality and pain intensity levels amongst female hairdressers with CTS are different from the ones of unemployed women with CTS or not. Material and Methods The consecutive female hairdressers and unemployed women who had referred to our electroneuromyography (ENMG) laboratory for the upper extremity nerve conduction studies were included. They were evaluated in terms of clinical and ENMG findings, socio-demographic characteristics, functionality and pain intensity levels determined with the Boston CTS Questionnaire and visual analog scale (VAS). Results In this study, 110 women (70 female hairdressers and 40 unemployed women) were included. The frequency of CTS among hairdressers (74.3%) was higher than the one of the unemployed control group (55%) (p = 0.032). We detected that as the time period of occupation in hairdressing increased, the risk of developing CTS also increased among hairdressers (p < 0.001). Additionally, pain intensity and functional loss levels were higher for hairdressers with CTS than those for the control group with CTS (p = 0.005, p < 0.001, p = 0.028, respectively). Conclusions The frequency of CTS is elevated for female hairdressers with respect to the unemployed women as in many other occupations requiring forced or repetitive hand movements. Besides, the occupational exposure in hairdressing also results in more elevated pain intensity and functional loss levels related with CTS as compared with the unemployed subjects.

Objectives The data regarding the health of professional tattooists is inexistent. Tattooists are usually heavily tattooed and exposed daily to body fluids and skin-to-skin contacts with customers, tattoo inks, solvents, allergens, irritants, and work for hours often in inadequate positions using vibrating tattoo machines. We analyzed the health status of active French professional tattooists. Material and Methods An observational self-reported Internet survey was performed among 448 tattooists who were members of the French Tattoo Union in November 2013. Results The main physical complaints were musculoskeletal: back pain (65%), finger pain (41.5%) and muscular pain (28.8%). Finger pain, back pain, muscular pain and carpal tunnel symptoms/tingling sensations on the fingers occurred among 88%, 61.5%, 68% and 84% of the cases after having started their activity (p < 0.001). Other chronic diseases, autoimmune diseases and cancers remained at a low level here. Conclusions Professional tattooists have a high prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints about back pain due to repetitive movements, awkward postures and use of a vibrating tattoo machine. Tattooists have a unique environment that imply developing intervention and preventive strategies for them. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2017;30(1):111–120

Objectives Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is common among office workers and limits functional hand ability and the ability to work. Carpal tunnel syndrome prevention programs implementation are still insufficient among office workers. In view of the fact that physical activity is the best method of preventing musculoskeletal complaints the aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of prevention exercises protocol for hand and wrist pain among office workers. Material and Methods Study group consists form 62 office workers, reporting complaints of hand and wrist pain. Exercise group it was 49 subjects who performed the exercise protocol and the non-exercise group consisted of 13 subjects. An exercises program, consisting of 7 exercises. The program was planned for daily routine during 8 weeks. The effectiveness of the exercise program was assessed by physical parameters (hand grip and pinch grip strength, force of forearm muscles) and questionnaires (Visual Analog Scale pain scale, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptom Severity Scale, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Functional Status Scale functional hand assessment questionnaires) were performed. Assessment was performed before and after the intervention. Results Statistical analysis of the data showed significant changes in the value of measured hand grip of the right hand (Z = –2.85, p < 0.01). For pinch grip, changes were significant for both the right (Z = –2.12, p < 0.05) and the left hands (Z = –2.35, p < 0.05). Functional performance improved significantly in bought groups. There was no statistically significant change in the intensity of experienced pain. Conclusions The results of the study indicate that performing a preventive exercise program regularly has an effect on increasing forearm muscle strength in a group of office workers. Office workers with symptoms of CTS who exercised regularly had higher results in hand grip and pincer grip strength. Exercises do not affect the level of pain complaints, which may indicate a more complex etiology of pain perception in this study group.

Background The authors aimed to explore carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) among electronic sports (esports) athletes, to compare hand symptoms and their severity between esports athletes and the control group and within the esports athletes, and to study the relationship between esports athletes’ variables. Material and Methods A cross-sectional survey study via telephone with systematic randomized approach was used for esport athletes sampling. Control group were non-esports athletes who do not use computer for prolonged duration. The survey consisted of sports athletes’ characteristics, hand symptoms and functions, and the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ). The unpaired student’s t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test were utilised for statistical comparison, with p < 0.05. Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation coefficient tests were used for relationship analyses. Results Eligible participants were 198 out of 229. Compared to control group, esport athletes reported more CTS (p = 0.01), and radiated pain and numbness in their hands (p = 0.05). Males complained of hand symptoms (p < 0.01) and its radiation (p < 0.01) more than females among esports athletes. Higher BCTQ Symptom Severity Scale (BCTQ-SSS) scores were reported for esports athletes who had been playing esports for prolonged periods compared to those who had playing recently (p = 0.003), with a moderate positive correlation (+0.59, p = 0.004). A significant moderate positive correlation was reported for BCTQ Functional Severity Symptoms (BCTQ-FSS) scores in terms of hours of playing (+0.44, p = 0.04). Esports athletes who used armrests and a PC with a controller for gaming reported less hand symptoms and had milder BCTQ scores than those who used a PC with a keyboard/mouse. Generally, esports athletes spend 5–10 h/day on gaming. Conclusions Esports athletes might be at risk of developing upper-extremity nerve compression and CTS. Prolonged playing, hours of playing, type of esports device, and using armrests are possible risk factors.

Objectives The study aims to assess selected factors contributing to the long-term effects of the conservative treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Material and Methods Forty-nine individuals diagnosed with CTS were enrolled in the study. The symptoms resulted from occupational hand overuse in 37 patients. The assessment involved 78 hands before the therapy (study 1) and 1 year after the end of the therapy (study 2). The clinical symptoms assessed included: pain, numbness, tingling, morning stiffness, vegetative disorders and difficulties in activities of daily living (ADL). The range of motion (ROM) in the hand joints and the pressure generated during the cylindrical grip were measured. Phalen’s tests, an electrodiagnostic test and a 2-point discrimination study were performed. Results A significant reduction of symptoms and improvement in tested parameters were found in study 2. The largest ROM in the hand, the lowest level of pain and the largest reduction in the frequency of daytime tingling were found in the oldest patients in study 2. In subjects with better initial electrodiagnostic test results, a significant reduction in daytime numbness and daytime tingling was obtained. In individuals previously subjected to conservative therapy, a significant improvement in the ROM of the hand and a better quality of sensation were noted in study 2. A higher level of pain, a lower reduction in the frequency of daytime tingling, and a smaller improvement in ADL capacity were noted in individuals who overused their hands at work after the therapy. Conclusions The effects of conservative CTS treatment after 1 year, expressed as the reduction of subjective symptoms, were independent of the patient’s age. A worse initial electrodiagnostic test result is a predictor of less favorable therapy results. Hand overuse during occupational activity may negatively affect the effects of conservative treatment in individuals with CTS. A change in the nature of occupational activity positively influenced the long-term maintenance of the effects of conservative treatment. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2019;32(2):197–215

ObjectivesHairstylists form an occupational group whose tasks involve repetitive and forced movements of hands and wrists, thus posing a risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This study assessed the prevalence of and factors associated with CTS symptoms among hairstylists in Gaborone, Botswana.Material and MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire distributed among randomly selected hairstylists. The questionnaire gathered information on demographic characteristics, lifestyle, work-related characteristics and psychosocial factors. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire was used to determine the severity of CTS symptoms and its functional effects. Data were then analyzed using χ2 and logistic regression models. The level of significance was determined at p < 0.05.ResultsA total of 165 hairstylists took part in the study, with 92 (56%) of the respondents being females. The mean age (M±SD) of the respondents was 35.05±7.54 years with an age range of 22–63 years. Seventy-three (42.2%) hairstylists reported CTS symptoms, with the majority (73%) being females. Out of all the CTS cases, 53 (72.6%) and 16 (21.9%) had mild and moderate symptoms, respectively. Over 80% of the hairstylists did not know about CTS. Among individual factors, CTS symptoms were associated with being female (the odds ratio [OR] of 9.99, and the 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.64–27.44), increasing age (OR 9.84, 95% CI: 2.74–35.36), the length of employment (OR 3.73, 95% CI: 1.39–9.95), hair washing (OR 2.88, 95% CI: 1.41–5.85), an awkward posture (OR 2.52, 95% CI: 1.03–6.19), and the use of a great muscular effort when performing a task (OR 2.39, 95% CI: 1.01–5.72). Perceived heavy workload and stressful work were also risk factors.ConclusionsThe results suggest a high prevalence of CTS among female hairstylists in Gaborone, and also point out that individual, work-related and psychosocial factors are associated with this syndrome. Future large-scale research is needed to establish the extent of CTS countrywide to influence policy-making. Currently, CTS is not listed amongst occupational health diseases in Botswana.

Objectives: There is no consensus on whether conservative treatment with night splints is indicated also in moderate and severe stages of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The goal of this study was to compare the efficacy of night-time splinting at different stages of CTS.Material and MethodsForty-five patients with electrodiagnostic (EDX) features of CTS included in the study were divided into 2 groups based on nerve conduction studies. The patients in the first group had only median nerve sensory fiber involvement, whereas the patients in the second group had also motor fiber involvement. The custom-made volar night splint was the only treatment for all of the included patients. The patients were assessed before the fabrication of orthosis and after 12 weeks of its use. The parameters measured were hand grip strength and the Visual Analogue Scale for pain and paraesthesia. The patients further completed the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) and a shorter version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (QuickDASH).ResultsIn the first group, a statistically significant improvement was established in paraesthesia and hand grip strength (p = 0.019, p = 0.024, respectively), but there was no statistically significant improvement in pain, and the results of both BCTQ and QuickDASH. In the second group, a statistically significant improvement was found in paraesthesia, the BCTQ Symptom Severity Scale and QuickDASH results (p = 0.008, p < 0.001, p = 0.011, respectively), whereas no statistically significant improvement was established in pain, hand grip strength and the BCTQ Functional Status Scale. However, when comparing the change in the outcome measures between the 2 groups, no statistically significant differences were found.ConclusionsThis study has shown that 12-week night-time splinting is beneficial not only for patients with mild CTS but also for those with advanced CTS, and those awaiting surgical treatment. Therefore, splinting is recommended for all patients with CTS.

Opis:
Objectives. This study was to determine the prevalence and work-related risk factors of neck–upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among video display terminal (VDT) users. Methods. A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted; there were 60 VDT users and 35 controls. The participants filled in a structured questionnaire, had electrophysiological tests and an X-ray of the neck. Results. The prevalence of MSDs was higher (28.3%) among VDTs users compared to controls (14.3%) with no statistically significant difference. The prevalence of cervical disorders with or without radiculopathy (18.3%) was the most common disorder followed by carpal tunnel syndrome (6.6%). The mean (SD) age of MSD cases (51 ± 7.2 years) was statistically significantly higher than of the controls (42.8 ± 9). Physical exposure to prolonged static posture (OR: 6.9; 95% CI: 0.83–57.9), awkward posture (OR: 5.5; 95% CI: 0.6–46.4) and repetitive movements (OR: 5.5; 95% CI: 0.65–46.4) increased risk of MSDs with a statistically significant difference for static posture only (p < .05). VDT users experienced more job dissatisfaction, work-overload and limited social support from supervisors and colleagues. Conclusion. VDT use did not increase the risk of neck–upper extremity MSDs. The risk increased with older age and static posture.

Opis:
Objectives Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common occupational disease. The aim was to assess the effect of preventive measures in automotive assembly workers. Material and Methods The analysis summarizes data from annual crosssectional studies. The 7-year analysis of data was based on medical records obtained from an occupational physician and inspections carried out at the workplace where targeted preventive measures were introduced, including better ergonomic arrangement of the workplace, technical adjustments facilitating the work, preventive nerve conduction studies (NCS) testing of the median nerve once a year, switching of workers and their targeted rotation within the workplace. The NCS testing of median nerve conduction at the wrist was the basic objective method for assessment of the prevalence and severity of CTS. Over the study period, the sample comprised 1804 workers at risk for repetitive overuse of the upper extremities, of whom 281 were females with a mean age of 38.5 years and 1523 were males with a mean age of 31.4 years. Results Over the study period, a total of 13 cases of CTS were recognized as an occupational disease in the plant, 8 of which occurred within the first 2 years from the initiation of production. Introduction of preventive measures decreased the prevalence of median neuropathy from 18.3% of examined extremities in 2011 to 10.5% in 2013 (p = 0.003). In early 2014, the production pace increased and this was accompanied by a rise in abnormal NCS findings to 16.9%. Over the study period, the rate of sensorimotor neuropathy decreased in favor of merely sensory neuropathies, which have been most frequent since 2013. The percentage of employees whose contracts were terminated due to median neuropathy decreased steadily from 5.5% to 0.4%. Conclusions Targeted prevention of work-related CTS is effective as evidenced by the decrease in the prevalence of median neuropathy detected by NCS. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2017;30(1):45–54
