- W2184985718 abstract "It is not uncommon for food processing workers to have complaints of musculoskeletal disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) within a short period of being hired. It is often difficult to determine if such conditions are caused by the new work or are pre-existing conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of abnormal median nerve conduction and CTS among newly hired poultry processing workers. Hand symptom surveys assessing numbness, tingling, pain, and burning were administered. Nerve conduction studies of the median and ulnar nerves across the wrist were performed bilaterally on all new employees. Median mononeuropathy was defined as a peak median-ulnar latency difference of 0.6 ms or greater. The surveillance case definition for CTS included symptoms and nerve conduction studies indicating a median mononeuropathy across the carpal canal. Over a three-year period 2,387 newly hired poultry processing workers were evaluated. The prevalence of median mononeuropathy among men was and 12% and 9% in the right and left hands, respectively. And among women the prevalence of median mononeuropathy was and 20% and 17% in the right and left hands, respectively. Among the job applicants, 6 women and 9 men that had a median mononeuropathy indicated that they had symptoms consistent with CTS. Many workers at the time of hire appear to have objective evidence of abnormal median nerve conduction within the carpal canal. Few newly hired workers report characteristic CTS symptoms, including those with median mononeuropathy. Workers at the time of hire may not be forthcoming with regard to symptoms that indicate existing pathology." @default.
