As CTS progresses, it can affect a person’s fine motor skills, making it difficult to perform tasks that require precision and dexterity. This loss of fine motor skills can be particularly noticeable in activities like writing, sewing, or using tools that require a steady hand.
This decline in fine motor skills is due to the compression of the median nerve, which affects the muscles in the hand and fingers. As the condition worsens, the loss of fine motor skills may become more pronounced and impact a person’s ability to complete daily tasks.
If you notice a decline in your fine motor skills, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if CTS is the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. (5)
