“…Também pode ser observado que houve diferenças em relação aos protocolos utilizados, principalmente, quanto às técnicas de fisioterapia aplicadas, em que podemos notar a descrição em comum de movimentos rotacionais na água, utilização de deslizamento para estimulação tátil e cinestésica 3,[30][31][32] ; mas, dois artigos descreveram manipulação direta dos prematuros (movimentos passivos de membros e movimentos de rotação de cinturas) 30,31 . Ainda não existe uma descrição padronizada de técnicas a serem realizadas com o prematuro em meio aquático, assim como podem ser utilizados outros dispositivos além do balde para facilitar a movimentação e deslizamento do bebê na água, sendo descrito a banheira 32 , e na prática clínica o uso de bacias com diâmetro e profundidade maiores.…”

“…Em relação aos desfechos, todos os artigos relataram melhora de parâmetros fisiológicos ou manutenção desses parâmetros dentro da faixa de normalidade, o que nos leva a inferir que a prática da hidrocinesioterapia não interfere na estabilidade clínica de prematuros 3,[30][31][32] . É de extrema importância verificar se a conduta a ser inserida na rotina da UTIN, além de ter o efeito esperado, não representa fator adicional de dor ou de estresse, que apresentam efeitos diretos de curto prazo sobre os sinais vitais, podendo levar ao aumento de gasto energético e pior prognóstico.…”

“…Annually, more than 500 000 carpal tunnel release procedures (CTR) are performed in the United States, with an associated cost of $2 billion dollars and additional productivity losses because of CTS. 16,17 At an integrated healthcare system that assumes responsibility for costs and quality measures by contracting with worker's compensation payers, a prospective observational study demonstrated that, despite 82% adherence to quality measures, important care recommendations were overlooked, particularly monitoring of symptoms, modifying work status, and modifying exacerbating activities. In addition, there were modest disparities in quality of care by income.…”

“…Carpal tunnel syndrome is often work‐related, particularly in jobs with high hand/wrist exposure and is a major cause of workers' compensation claims.

Quality measures in electrodiagnosis: Carpal tunnel syndrome—An AANEM Quality Measure Set

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common neuromuscular condition and a major cause of work‐related disability. As healthcare in the United States transitions toward a value‐based system from fee‐for‐service, quality measures assume importance in the evaluation of care provided. This report from the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine Quality Improvement Committee provides an introduction to quality measures and outlines a quality measurement set for the electrodiagnosis of CTS. The measures attempt to standardize technical requirements for electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies of CTS, the criteria for diagnosing median neuropathy at the wrist and assessing its severity, and the role of operative EDX testing. The assumption is that implementation of these measures will improve the accuracy of CTS diagnosis when EDX is performed, help exclude mimics, and, therefore, improve care of patients with CTS with the ultimate goal of improving outcomes. Postimplementation assessment of outcomes will refine these measures.

“…While workplace-related injuries can occur in either hand, they are more prevalent in the dominant hand and often lead to companies paying workers’ compensation claims, along with the additional recruiting, onboarding, and training costs incurred by companies to fill temporary positions. These measures can be costly to companies as there are “500,000 carpal tunnel releases costing over $2 billion performed each year in the United States” 16 .…”

This study explored the effects of training computer mouse use in the nondominant hand on clicking performance of the dominant and nondominant hands. Computer mouse use is a daily operation in the workplace and requires minute hand and wrist movements developed and refined through practice and training for many years. Our study had eleven right-handed computer mouse users train their nondominant hand for 15 min a day, five days per week, for six weeks. This study found improved performance with the computer mouse in the dominant hand following nondominant hand training because of the bilateral transfer effect of training. Additionally, our study showed that the nondominant hand is capable of learning the complex movements that our dominant hand has trained for many years. Last, our research showed that nondominant hand performance decreases when the skill is not trained for over a year, but the performance is significantly higher than that prior to the original training and can be rapidly relearned. Overall, training the nondominant hand on the computer mouse will allow for improved performance in industry while allowing safer, sustainable, and more achievable work in a multitude of economies.

Analysis of Expected Costs of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment Strategies

Abstract: Although many factors must be considered when deciding upon treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, direct payer cost is an important component, and the initial management with steroid injections minimizes these direct payer costs.
