Who Gets Wrist Tendinitis?
Wrist tendinitis affects many individuals in the US and accounts for up to 50% of all sports injuries. It is also one of the most common occupational injuries in the US, with 1.1 per 100,000 full-time workers experiencing it.
Wrist tendinitis is the most common in individuals who do repetitive activities that use their hand and wrist. This includes things like using the computer, playing a sport that uses the wrist (such as tennis or baseball), and factory workers, among other occupations. For older adults, the loss of elasticity in the wrist tendons can lead to the development of wrist tendinitis.
