Wrist and hand fractures and ligament injuries are frequent conditions, they may be related to athletes’ falls. Other common conditions may include tendon inflammation, for example De Quervain’s disease, and are caused by maintaining the same position fixed for an extended period of time. Uninterrupted pressure on wrist combined with reiterated vibrations may lead to peripheral nerves compression at wrist, above all in mountain bike and motocross training. Fingers tingling and numbness are direct consequences (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, ulnar nerve compression at the wrist).
