520	3		_aThe study looked into musculoskeletal disorders, particularly hand and wrist pain, that may be associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) among 495 workers in manufacturing industries. Questionnaires and physical assessment tests were performed. Phalen's and Tinel's tests were positive in 2.4 percent and 7.1 percent of respondents, respectively. Pain in the upper extremity was felt by 14.7 percent of respondents, while limitation of motion and affectation of activities of daily living were present in 0.6 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively. On Chi Square analysis, Phalen's and Tinel's tests were significantly associated with pain and discomfort in the hands, wrists and shoulders, respectively (p= 0.022 and 0.049). Logistic regression showed that Phalen's test was 1.36 times more likely among those with upper extremity pain. Handling difficult to grasp items and performing high precision movements increased a positive Tinel's sign by 21 and 22 times, respectively. Interventional strategies and possibilities for future studies were also discussed.
