Whenever a person writes, types on a keyboard, or engraves or cuts with a knife for an extended period of time, this can lead to injury. When work activities or hobbies require repetitive wrist or finger motion, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can occur (a condition which many mistake for writer's cramp).

If you write frequently and for extended periods of time with regular pens you likely have developed a callous or blister on your middle finger. Ask most students and journalists and they will tell how their hand hurts and grows numb after intense or continuous writing. Ask most senior citizens and many will tell you how difficult it is to hold the pen while writing. The joints ache and the flexibility of fingers is reduced as one gets older. The effects of this are that the act of writing is increasingly difficult and the quality of the handwriting steadily worsens.

Whenever a person writes, types on a keyboard, or engraves or cuts with a knife for an extended period of time, this can lead to injury. When work activities or hobbies require repetitive wrist or finger motion, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can occur.

In today's modern post-industrial society, the potential for developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome exists in many everyday work and leisure activities. It is estimated that as many as 25% of all individuals whose professions require extensive writing activity (students, secretaries, bookkeepers, etc.) could have some form of CTS and those estimates are increasing every year.

Most only deal with the symptoms after the condition has already established itself. Only 23% of all carpal tunnel patients are able to return to their profession following surgery, and 36% of all carpal tunnel patients require ongoing medical treatment.

CTS is a debilitating disease that is capable of producing intense and ongoing pain to the individual. Also known as tardy median nerve palsy, CTS is a mechanical malfunction of the hand and wrist, stemming from repetitive movement that shortens the size of the thenar muscles in the hand and wrist. This shortening of the thenar muscles causes CTS because it puts adverse stress on the median nerve.

How does this condition make itself felt? In the beginning, one feels numbness and tingling in the hands, a sensation similar to hitting one's funny bone, except the pain isn't temporary. Not only is the pain constant, but it gets progressively worse. At the onset the pain increases only marginally, with occasional flare-ups which may awaken the individual at night. Then, without an abatement of the cause, both the frequency and the intensity of the pain will increase. The pain continues to progress until one is ultimately unable to move the wrists.
