Taking too many selfies can injure nerves in wrist
A new injury has emerged in this, the digital era: “selfie wrist.”
There is no shortage of enthusiastic selfie takers these days, especially among young people, who repeatedly aim their cell phones at themselves in order to visually document their activities, friends and special locations they visit. In doing so, they are hyper-flexing their wrist inwards in order to achieve the ideal selfie angle – something that can cause an ergonomic injury similar to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
