involve damage to the hands, wrists,
elbows, shoulders, neck, and back. carpal
tunnel syndrome and tendonitis (such as
tennis elbow or rotator cuff syndrome) are
examples of ctd's.

cumulative trauma disorders ("CTD's").
CTD's, when using hand tools, tend to affect
the upper extremities. Factors which may
increase the risk of developing a CTD include:
1. High frequency of the activity.
2. Excessive force, such
pinching, or pressing with the hands and
fingers.
3. Extreme or awkward finger, wrist, or arm
positions.
4. Excessive duration of the activity.
5. Tool vibration.
6. Repeated pressure on a body part.
7. Working in cold temperatures.
CTD's can also be caused by such activities
as sewing, golf, tennis, and bowling, to name
a few.
SAFeGuArdS: Pain, tingling, or numbness
in the shoulder, forearm, wrist, hands, or
fingers, especially during the night, may be
early symptoms of a CTD. Do not ignore them.
Should you experience any such symptoms,
see a physician immediately. Other early
symptoms may include vague discomfort in
the hand, loss of manual dexterity, and
nonspecific pain in the arm. Ignoring early
symptoms and continued repetitive use of the
arm, wrist, and hand can lead to serious
disability. Risk is reduced by avoiding or
lessening factors 1-7.
