Manual labor often requires performing a number of repetitive tasks often in awkward and cramped positions. This can lead to the development of repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and tennis or golfers elbow. Preventing a repetitive injury is definitely better than cure. Maintaining a neutral wrist position and avoiding twisting and bending movements is the optimum way to prevent the development of a repetitive strain injury.The key points to remember when trying to prevent a repetitive strain injury are:

  • Keep the wrist and forearm in a neutral position.
  • Take regular breaks from an activity.
  • Modify a task to avoid repetition.
  • Naturally maintaining a healthy diet helps too!
If after a day of intense manual labor your wrists and forearms are feeling sore and you have the feeling of numbness and a loss of sensation in the fingers you should avoid placing further strain on your body. If this problem persists you should consult with your doctor.

Ergonomics of Cookware Handling 2Holding a straight handle forces you to bend your wrist. In this position your grip strength is approximately 45% weaker. This means you will fatigue more easily and over time and repetitive use are likely to develop an injury as a direct result of strain.
