“ Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context. ”

Kamal, Abdul H. and Riley, Michael W. (1995): Median Nerve Latencies of Dental Hygienists and Wrist Size. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. p. 959.

“Dental hygienists who are licensed to practice in Southeastern Nebraska were solicited by mail and telephone to participate in a comprehensive study aimed at assessing the prevalence rate of upper extremity neuropathies in dental hygienists. The study involved, in part, nerve conduction testing and wrist measurements. Conflicting reports were found in the literature linking wrist size to elevated median nerve motor or sensory latencies which are typically indicative of upper extremity neuropathies including carpal tunnel syndrome. Sixty-four practicing dental hygienists had bilateral nerve conduction tests. Wrist thickness and wrist depth at both the distal and proximal wrist creases were measured. Wrist ratios (depth to thickness) for the dominant and nondominant hand at the proximal and distal wrist creases were determined. The wrist ratios were not statistically significantly different due to measurement site, hand dominance, subject reported hand/arm numbness, tingling, pain or motor impairment, or measured median nerve motor or sensory nerve latencies. Wrist ratios could not be used to predict subject reported symptoms of upper extremity neuropathies or electro-diagnosed upper extremity neuropathies.”
