CTS – What has this to do with riders?
Riders may take this for granted but CTS can be our serious concern…
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition which starts with numbness and stinging in the hand. This syndrome may also involve aching in the hand, forearm or shoulder. These symptoms intermittently occur in during daytime and sometimes during nighttime which may awaken the person from sleep. CTS is caused by a pinched nerve in the palm of the hand.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is treated by placing the wrist on a splint to immobilize it and to prevent pressure to the nerves. CTS can become quite troublesome when not treated at the earlier stage so a rider must regularly have his medical check-up to know his health condition.
One thing to prevent CTS is to wear motorcycle gloves. These gloves do not only protect our hands from injuries, weather conditions but from possible illness as well.
Wear the right motorcycle accessories and apparel to be sound and safe. Riding can be both fun and sound just know the consequences and prepare to ride hard…
