Rehabilitation Note 02
What is De Quervain’s syndrome (tenosynovitis)?
Today we spend most of our days with smartphone and PC.
Such devices make our lives much more comfortable by keeping us connected through
online with our friends and families to rest of the world.
However, over-using smartphone devices implies much stress on the wrist
and inflames the tendons leading to the thumb and wrist,
which can lead to a disease called ‘De Quervain’s syndrome (tenosynovitis)’.
De Quervain’s syndrome (tenosynovitis)
Tenosynovitis refers to the tendon that connects the thumb and the wrist and a thin membrane
that surrounds it. When you move your wrist, your muscles move in the tendons.
Excessive use of muscles and joints can cause inflammation of the tendons or synovial fluid,
causing the wrist to become red, swollen, and painful.
Tenosynovitis is a disease that occurs due to various reasons.
Excessive use of PC or smartphone
Excessive use of wrist (over stressed)
Injury from external impact
Weaken musculoskeletal after giving birth
Symptoms
Inflammation and swollen around the wrist area
Feeling pain when using your hand or wrist
Feeling discomfort when moving the wrist
Feeling pain when you press the wrist tendon area
Tenosynovitis self check-up
Make a fist with your thumb inward, then bend your wrist down. At this time,
if there is pain, you may suspect wrist tendonitis.
How to Stretch your wrists?
Extend one hand forward and pull back and forth while applying resistance with the other hand.
Rotate both wrists clockwise and counterclockwise.
In addition, you can also use the wrist strap or taping for temporary solutions
Rebless can perform lumbar, lateral deviaton, wrist extension, and wrist flexion angle movements, providing a support on preventing and rehabilitating from the Tenosynovitis.
