The incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) appears to be increasing since the advent of computers in the workplace. People performing repetitive wrist movements over period of time appear to be at particular risk for this syndrome. Prevention of this common entrapment neuropathy can increase the productivity of the workplace as well as avoid needless human suffering. Nurse practitioners play a key role in the education of the client who is at risk, and in the diagnosis and treatment of CTS itself. The author addresses these issues in this overview of diagnosis, treatment, and education of the client with CTS.
自从工作场所引入计算机以来，腕管综合征（CTS）的发病率似乎一直在上升。长时间进行重复性手腕运动的人似乎特别容易患上这种综合征。预防这种常见的卡压性神经病变可以提高工作场所的生产力，同时避免不必要的人类痛苦。执业护士在对有风险的客户进行教育以及对腕管综合征本身的诊断和治疗中起着关键作用。作者在这篇关于腕管综合征患者的诊断、治疗和教育的概述中探讨了这些问题。
