Yes, any prolonged strenuous activity on the hands can cause carpal tunnel, such as typing.
Whatever somedoctors say, others are convinced that chemotherapy can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. In view of the large number of people who end up with carpal tunnel syndrome following chemotherapy, therehas to bea definite connection.
Hi, There are no exercises which cause carpal tunnel syndrome. CTS is caused by an inflammation in the carpal tunnel ( which is made up of the carpal bones in the hand and the flexor retinaculum (a ligament) ). The inflammation can be caused by a number of things, eg. artheritis of the carpal bones, tendonitis or any condition that causes oedema for example, pregnancy. Some of these things will go away on there own, but some may require medical intervention. There are exercises which will induce the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, which is anything that puts pressure on the carpal tunnel for example when you have your hands bent downwards towards your wrists. But this is not the pathological cause of the syndrome Hope this helps Hi, There are no exercises which cause carpal tunnel syndrome.

Occupational safety and health is an area of study and attention that involves efforts to preserve or enhance safety and health in the workplace. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which the carpal tunnel is inflamed, often as a result of over use. Someone engaged in occupational safety and health will be concerned about carpal tunnel syndrome, and may direct cases for identification by medical specialists, but will not intentionally cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Well-intentioned but uninformed efforts at dealing with other workplace issues might result in some people developing carpal tunnel syndrome.
Yes it is possible, if the wrist is hyperextended ie bent backwards this can stretch the ligaments, tendons and median nerve in the wrist or carpal tunnel, which can later cause pain, numbness and tingling.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is not known to cause bruising. Possibly you had a small injury and didn't notice it at the time.
Actually no muscle is cut during this surgery. Instead, the surgeon cuts the transverse carpal ligament so pressure on the median nerve (the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome) can be released thus reducing the symptoms.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a repetitive stress kind of injury, so anyone who makes the same kind of motion a lot would be vulnerable. Typing on keyboards is a typical cause.
The median nerve that passes through the carpel tunnel is the nerve that is effected to cause carpel tunnel syndrome.
Yes it can. Sometimes this is referred to as traumatic carpal tunnel syndrome. Usually it is from a fall or car accident where the wrist is severly injured or the wrist is broken which can put pressure on the median nerve.
