Can Carpal Tunnel Syndrome be “work-related”?
It’s estimated that approximately 50 percent of the medically diagnosed cases of carpal tunnel syndrome are workplace injuries, according to the Massachusetts Office of Health and Human Services. Workplace injury risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome include repetitive and forceful exertions of hands and wrist, repetitive work combined with awkward hand postures, and exposure to hand vibration. Many more women in Massachusetts get carpal tunnel workplace injuries than men. For more info, check out http://www.kantrovitzlaw.com/health-recovery/health-recovery-carpal-tunnel/
