Abstract:
The incidence of occupational carpal tunnel syndrome may be a synergy between genetics, physiology, and lifestyle factors in addition to biomechanics. It seems prudent to avoid general rules of thumb applied to all occupations and all workers to link occupational hand-use to carpal tunnel syndrome. The lines of evidence are not consistent or continuous from the cellular, tissue, and organism levels.
