TENDOPERIOSTOSEN (Ermüdungserscheinungen von Sehnen und Knochenhaut)

Es wird angenommen, daß eine Überanstrengung der Muskeln und Sehnen der Finger, Hände, Arme und Schultern in den betreffenden Körperteilen Schmerz, Schwellungen, Gefühllosigkeit, Schwäche und auch akuten Schmerz verursachen kann. Durch bestimmte wiederholte Handbewegungen können Sie sich einem erhöhten Risiko der Entwicklung von Tendoperiostosen aussetzen.

LESIONI DA SFORZI RIPETITIVI

Si ritiene che l’uso eccessivo dei muscoli e dei tendini di dita, mani, braccia e spalle possa causare dolore, gonfiore, intorpidimento, debolezza e fortissimi dolori nelle zone menzionate. Alcune attività manuali ripetitive possono essere causa di alto rischio per lo sviluppo di lesioni da sforzi ripetitivi.

To reduce the risk of RSI, do the following:

•Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted position.

•Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands. Reduce the speed and force in which you do the repetitive movement.

•Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.

•See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in your fingers, hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI is diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.

Das Risiko von Tendoperiostosen/ Karpaltunnelsyndrom wird folgendermaßen gemindert:

•Achten Sie darauf, daß Sie Ihr Handgelenk nicht zu sehr beugen, strecken oder verdrehen.

•Von Zeit zu Zeit Pausen einlegen, um Wiederholungsbewegungen auf ein Minimum zu beschränken. Hände ruhen lassen. Die Geschwindigkeit und den Kraftaufwand reduzieren, mit der Sie die Wiederholungsbewegung ausführen.

•Zwecks Stärkung der Hand- und Armmuskulatur Übungen durchführen.

•Einen Arzt aufsuchen, wenn Sie ein Prickeln, Gefühllosigkeit oder Schmerzen in Ihren Fingern, Händen, Handgelenken oder Armen fühlen. Je eher Tendoperiostosen erkannt werden, desto wahrscheinlicher ist es, daß sich eine anhaltende Beschädigung von Nerven und Muskeln verhindern läßt.

Per ridurre il rischio di lesioni da sforzi ripetitivi:

•Evitare di usare il polso piegato, allungato o girato.

•Fare pause ad intervalli regolari per ripetere il meno possibile gli stessi movimenti e far riposare le mani.

•Ridurre la velocità e la forza con cui il movimento ripetitivo viene eseguito.

•Fare esercizi per rafforzare i muscoli della mano e del braccio.

•Consultare un medico se si accusano formicolio, intorpidimento o dolori nelle dita, nelle mani, nei polsi o nelle braccia. La tempestiva diagnosi delle lesioni da sforzi ripetitivi offre maggiore possibilità di impedire danni permanenti a nervi e muscoli.
