Rest your hands and wrists regularly when performing repetitive tasks. Take advantage of it for stretch gently wrist.
Change your position frequently and, if possible, alternate movements from one hand to the other.
Avoid using force with your hands when they are too close together or too far from the body. Also avoid using a exaggerated force (For example, you have to press the keys of a cash register or a computer keyboard lightly).
Do not rest your wrists on too hard surfaces for long periods.
Hold objects at full hand rather than fingertips.
Make sure that the tool handles are not too big or too small for the hand.
Avoid long use of vibrating tools strongly.
Wear gloves for manual work in an area where the temperature is cold. Pain and stiffness are more likely to appear in the cold.
Avoid having “broken” (bent upward) wrists when handling a computer mouse. There are different models of wrist rests and ergonomic cushions. Also adjust the height of the chair.
If we use a Souris equipped with two main buttons, configure the mouse so that the button most used is the one on the right and use the index finger to click. The hand is thus in a more natural position.
Obtain the services of a ergonome if needed.
Do treat without delay the diseases that can cause carpal tunnel syndrome.
