ABSTRACT

The article transits the preventive nature of ergonomics as a science in its multidisciplinary dimension and its link in the prevention of diseases of a rheumatological nature, among which is the carpal tunnel syndrome.
Objective: to analyze the dynamics of CTS prevention based on ergonomic measures, as well as its treatment from a rheumatologic approach.
Development: Since this is the most common peripheral neuropathy, disabling from the earliest stages, the nature of its link with the ergonomic design of workplaces and the re-dimensioning of work activities, the assessment of the activities they demand repetitive movements, tools and manual productive procedures that trigger their appearance.
Conclusions: The research shows a vision of the disease in its epidemiological aspects, characteristics of conservative and surgical treatment, the most commonly associated risk factors and the dynamics of its prevention based on ergonomic measures. The importance of promoting and supporting the design and implementation of safety and health systems at work, focused on the reduction of ergonomic problems and taking the cost / benefit analysis as a starting point is emphasized.
