Use of hand tools may casue 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 as gripping,
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.

Cumulative Trauma
Disorders ("CTD's")
CTD's, or musculoskeletal
disorders, 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.
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.
