On The Job - Risk Factors


Neutral Wrist

Neutral wrist positioning is center position between flexing and extending. Working in neutral wrist positioning can help avoid harmful conditions such as tendinitis, bursitis, and nerve entrapment. Repetitive bending and prolonged awkward wrist positions can cause cumulative trauma to the wrist and hand, sometimes causing long term weakness and numbness. So next time you are at work, remember to keep your wrists in neutral. If you cannot or need more direction in how to do so. Please contact your site therapist.
