What is better for carpal tunnel (and other wrist-related injuries)

Exercise after work you fat piece of shit.

trackball

/thread

I have carpal tunnel. In order of comfort (as in, least pain/tingly awfulness) I'd personally rate them:

Graphics Tablet > Trackpoint > Trackball > Touchpad > Regular Mouse

With graphics tablet and trackpoint occasionally swapping places. Trackball is the best if you actually want to get work done.

But most sports that relies heavy on the wrist (like tennis) also causes carpal tunnel syndrome. Or are you saying that just jogging and stuff should prevent the CTS?

oh my god why did i try that

>>56143427
I tried that and nothing happened

then again i'm hypermobile

>>56143449
you lucky fuck

i have hitchhiker thumbs you wouldn't believe but that's about it

I switched to a vertical mouse, it works pretty good desu senpai.

>>56143449
Tried it too, nothing happened. What is it supposed to do?

general weight lifting and farmers carry's - anything that strengthens the grip/forearm will help prevent/treat these types of injury's.

most people in tech are fat or hungry skeleton mode.

You're supposed to twist your wrist down as hard as you can

>>56143563
>general weight lifting
can also fuck your wrist up really nicely

pushing movements (bench press, overhead press) put a ton of pressure on the wrists, definitely not good for them
anything involving a front rack position (cleans, front squats) is gonna fuck you up as well

pulls are the only really wrist-safe movement type

This, doing focus t25 myself, bretty good

>>56143663

you're all exercising wrong.
if you really want ripped wrists, do what is shown in the OP pic, but put something in your hand first and grip it as hard as you can.
A penis works well.

Ergonomi trackball.
Unfortunately, they don't make any anymore.

i wanna do whats in that pic but im scared it might fuck me up, is there any advantage to it, does it just hurt or does it do real damage?

i draw, play an instrument and program so i really dont want to fuck my hands

These are still around in various forms where I live. Also on ali and the like which function OK.

For wrist exercise I'd recommend pic related.

I got lessons from a piano teacher so I can sit and play (read: type) on the keyboard with proper form

And if you look to your left you can see natural selection at work. Very beautiful

>prevention
Just a better posture and position of your hands, wrist, and arms.
If it hurts or you feel sore after working or regular computer use, you're doing something wrong.
Ideally you want to rest as much arm and wrist possible, instead of holding it up.
So while some people like having their keyboard floating or to the edge of the table, same with the mouse, it's actually pretty bad.

Also for me, in regards to mouse use, what always helped the most is to set the sensitivity so high that I can use the mouse with only my fingers, never my wrist. If I have to use lower sensitivity then I make sure I use the mouse with the whole arm, never with the wrist.

>or just regular mouse
if you have RSI or CT, MM is the best. trust me on this one, I've tried it all.

>don't have any wrist pain
>switch to an ergonomic mouse to be proactive
>sudden wrist pain

Don't use a mouse and use Vim bindings for everything you can.

This. Lifting does wonders for your wrists.

>>56143663
jesus, you must be really fat to be so offended by someone suggesting you work out

As long as you're doing a program and warming up it'll be fine.

And "wrists" aren't one thing. The compression that occurs with pushing exercises won't injure the carpal tunnel, which is on the other side from the area receiving the pressure of the bar.
