Abstract
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) has emerged as a growing health concern among workers involved in occupations requiring repetitive and precision-based activities. Within the framework of the modern industrial economy, many professions encompass these characteristics, contributing to a notable prevalence of CTS across various occupational sectors. The impact of CTS extends beyond reduced workplace productivity, significantly impairing the quality of life of affected individuals and imposing economic challenges on both employees and employers.
This study presents the case of a 43-year-old female textile assembler, highlighting the risk factors contributing to the onset of the condition, the individualized therapeutic interventions employed, and the long-term progression of the disease. The analysis further investigates effective occupational management strategies aimed at minimizing the burden of CTS. Postoperative management revealed several complications, leading to work-related disability with substantial economic and social ramifications for both the employee and the employer. This case emphasizes the critical need for comprehensive strategies to address the occupational risks and consequences associated with CTS.
