    • BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of hand paresthesias (HP) and their relationship with pruning activities. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among 537 workers pruning grapevines in the region of Champagne. All workers completed a questionnaire about nocturnal HP and musculoskeletal pain during the preceding 12-month period. RESULTS The 12-month prevalence of nocturnal HP and hand-wrist pain were 37 and 12%, respectively. HP, predominantly affecting… CONTINUE READING
