Impact of Prolonged Wrist Extension as the Prevalent Cause of Wrist Pain among Computer Desktop Workers- A Survey Study

Objective: - The study focuses on determining the impact of prolonged wrist extension on wrist pain among computer desktop workers. It is observed that prolonged wrist extension may lead a person to develop wrist pain. Long-lasting wrist pain affects the daily working performance of the users by restricting their activities and ability to cope with the demanding workload.
Material and Method: - This study was a cross-sectional study. 302 computer desktop workers aged 18 to 60 years participated in an online survey.
Result: - The study shows that about 85.09% of participants had wrist pain during typing. 12.9% of participants, felt wrist pain in their left hand, 30.4% of participants had pain in both hands and 56.6% of participants had wrist pain in their right hand.
Conclusion: - The study concluded that wrist pain was prevalent among computer desktop workers. The pain was felt, and symptoms were connected to a particular person and job-related characteristics. With no threshold effects, typing time indicated wrist pain at low exposure levels.

Objective: - 本研究旨在明确长时间腕部伸展对计算机桌面工作者腕部疼痛的影响。已有研究观察到，长时间腕部伸展可能诱发个体产生腕部疼痛；而长期持续的腕部疼痛会限制个体活动与应对高强度工作任务的能力，进而损害其日常工作表现。
Material and Method: - 本研究为横断面研究，招募了302名年龄介于18至60岁的计算机桌面工作者参与线上问卷调查。
Result: - 本研究结果显示，约85.09%的参与者在打字期间出现腕部疼痛。其中，12.9%的参与者仅左手出现腕部疼痛，30.4%的参与者双手均出现疼痛症状，56.6%的参与者右手出现腕部疼痛。
Conclusion: - 本研究得出结论，腕部疼痛在计算机桌面工作者中具有较高患病率，其发生与个体自身及工作相关特征存在关联。本研究未发现阈值效应，即低时长的打字暴露即可预示腕部疼痛的发生。
