THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NERVE CONDUCTION STUDY AND LONG WORKING HOURS IN COMPUTER WORKERS.
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Increase of computer work coincided with a decreased nerve conduction velocities of peripheral nerves (median and ulnar). Objective: Aim of study is to measure the abnormality of nerve conduction entrapment of the median and ulnar nerves in the mouse-operating limb. Material and Methods: Nerve conduction study was performed on 60 computer operators: group I, with 30 right handed office workers who worked at a computer for minimum of 6 - 8 hours per day in the college; and group II, with 30 right handed individuals who worked at computer for < 2 hours/ week. Results: We observed decreased conduction velocity in median and ulnar nerve of both motor and sensory division in computer operators working for 6-8 hours/day. Conclusion: NCV is a simple, reliable, and sensitive tool to measure and describe nerve conduction entrapment abnormality.
