Does the dominant hand factor have an effect on postoperative recovery in the surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome?

Abstract

This study has been presented in the 31 th Scientific Congress of Turkish Neurosurgical Society.

Nondominant hand computer mouse training and the bilateral transfer effect to the dominant hand

“…Once the hand is injured, the dominant hand was shown to have significantly higher erosion, joint space narrowing, and damage progression than an injured nondominant hand 7 . After surgery, both hands have significantly less pain, but the prevalence of pain reported after surgery is higher for those with surgery on the dominant hand versus the nondominant hand 8 , 9 .…”

Improving performance in an office environment via training the non-dominant hand on the computer mouse: A study of learning curve of the non-dominant hand and the bilateral transfer effect to the dominant hand

“…Once the hand is injured, the dominant hand was shown to have significantly higher erosion, joint space narrowing, and damage progression than the non-dominant hand (Koh et al, 2015). After surgery, both hands have significantly less pain, but the rate of pain reported after surgery is higher for those with surgery in the dominant hand versus the non-dominant hand (Beaulé et al, 2000;Çivi et al, 2018). In today's society, computers are used daily by the majority of the population and most people have a lifetime of experience performing in mouse and keyboard tasks.…”
