CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME


Social Campaign on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The purpose of this social campaign is to create awareness towards young adults especially addictive gamers, of the dangers that they faced when expose to forceful and repetitive movements with their hands such as  prolonged usage of the mouse or keyboard without rest. This is known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a syndrome that has long been associated with computer use, so it's no surprise that it's a physical symptom of gaming addiction. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused when the main nerve between the forearm and hand is squeezed or pressed. This occurs when the carpal tunnel - the area of the wrist that houses the main nerve and tendons - becomes irritated or swollen. Overuse of a computer mouse can cause such irritation and swelling, as can excessive use of a video game controller.
