Abstract

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is known to be the most common type of compression neuropathy of the upper extremities. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is caused by compression of the nerve that runs through the carpal tunnel, namely the median nerve. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is very often experienced by workers whose daily activities always use repetitive movements of the wrist and a fixed position for a long time. Several factors are known to be a risk factor for CTS, such as repetitive movements with force, pressure on the muscles, non-ergonomic work postures, and others. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a syndrome that can actually be prevented because there are no risk factors that cannot be changed except for age.
