Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Causes Permanent Disabilities

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or CTS, is one of the types of injuries known as repetitive motion injuries or cumulative trauma disorders. These injuries occur gradually, over a period of time. The tissues become damaged and never have a chance to repair. If the abuse continues, permanent disability can result.

CTS affects workers in a variety of operations - cashiers, keyboard operators, electronic circuit assemblers, electricians and carpenters, In fact, it can affect anyone who makes repeated movements of the hand and wrist throughout their working day. It's probably safe to say that just about any kind of industry or workplace has some tasks which put you at risk for CTS.

The carpal tunnel is the name for a small channel that runs through the center of the wrist.
