Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in right-hand ultrasound physicians and identify contributing factors for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) .Methods:From May 2023 to February 2025, 188 ultrasound physicians from 15 hospitals in Heilongjiang Province were surveyed using questionnaires to assess their prevalence of wrist-specific mechanical strain disorders (WMSDs) over the past year. Neurophysiological tests were conducted, and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors affecting the right carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) .Results:The prevalence of wrist WMSDs among ultrasound physicians was 48.4% (91/188) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age and frequent probe pressure application were associated with 2.14-fold and 4.04-fold increased CTS risk, respectively.Conclusion:Enhance society's attention to the health of noise-exposed physiciansand providing a foundation for implementing targeted interventions.
