Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)

The service involves on-site testing. Each employee undergoes a detailed work and lifestyle questionnaire.

Subsequently, nerve velocity testing and a medical review of the test results is provided and remedial treatment at a reversible stage can be implemented.

Is your company testing for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome before it hires new employees?

Why it should!

            A single compensation claim if it results in bilateral CTS surgery will typically cost your company $20,000.

Noront Audiometric can identify CTS in new and existing employees through Nerve Conduction Screening.

Who should be tested?

Employees in high risk job classes such as:

• Mechanics
• Heavy equipment operators
• Millwrights
• Sheet metal workers
• Heavy computer operators
• And any job class that uses air driven tools.

The benefits of our nerve conduction screening:

• Earlier detection allows for remedial treatment at a reversible stage, thus avoiding compensation costs
• Earlier detection can avoid permanent damage
• Continuous screening of pre-op and post-op employees
• Job modification strategies are proposed
• Non-surgical treatment options are presented
• Mobile on-site testing
• Non-invasive test procedures
• Cost effectiveness

Features of the nerve conduction:

• Flexible on-site testing
• Accurate and repeatable data
• Medical attested reports
