(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-11-30) Gaspar Gonzales, Elizabeth; Bejarano Ambrosio, Miriam Juvit
According to the WHO, industrialized nations show that one-third of lost working days are related to health issues, which are a significant factor contributing to MSDs. Health problems represent 59% of occupational diseases, compared with more common work-related issues such as those reported by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work. Musculoskeletal disorders like pain occur at the radial edge of the wrist and base of the thumb due to thickening and entrapment of the short extensor and long abductor tendons, associated with repetitive movements caused by excessive computer use when typing. Quervain’s tenosynovitis is a disorder affecting wrist and hand function, especially the thumb, due to repetitive movements in office workers typing on computers. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study. To measure Quervain's tenosynovitis, the Finkelstein test will be used for functional capacity; the Sollerman test for grip strength will be measured using a dynamometer.
