“…With regard to computer work, the procedures for case ascertainment differed too much across studies, as was reflected in the prevalence estimates, which varied from 1.4% (57) to 13.1% (20). The contradictory findings for computer use and the development of CTS are in agreement with the conclusion of a recent review (65). In two crosssectional studies (53,54), a similar definition of force and repetitiveness was used, but, although significant associations were reported in the separate studies, the large heterogeneity of the risk estimates across studies made the pooling of results not possible.…”

“…Od wczesnych lat 90. wyżej opisana neuropatia wymieniana jest jako możliwy skutek przeciążeń intensywną pracą przy komputerze, choć dotąd nie ma bezspornych dowodów na taką zależność (5)(6)(7)(8).…”

“…computer users i populacji ogólnej jest podobna. Mimo wielu przeprowadzonych badań nie ma też wystarczających dowodów pozwalających ostatecznie uznać, że używa-nie klawiatury i myszki komputerowej jest czynnikiem predysponującym do rozwoju zespołu cieśni nadgarstka (8). Badanie ewentualnej zależności między intensywną pracą z wykorzystaniem komputera a ryzykiem rozwoju zespołu cieśni nadgarstka ograniczone jest wyraźnym związkiem tej mononeuropatii z innymi potencjalnymi czynnikami wyzwalającymi powstanie choroby.…”
