Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study will be conducted on 10 healthy office workers. The study subjects will be asked to type on a computer for 5 minutes (1) without splint or taping, (2) with a splint and (3) with rigid taping which limits the wrist flexion at the dominant side. The upper trapezius muscle activation will be recorded by surface EMG during the task. The mean values will be normalized according to Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction (MVIC) and %MVIC values.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
The subjects will be asked to type on a computer for 5 minutes without splint or taping. The upper trapezius muscle activation will be recorded by surface EMG during the task. The mean values will be normalized according to Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction (MVIC) and %MVIC values.
No interventions assigned to this group
Splint Group
The subjects will be asked to type on a computer for 5 minutes with a splint. The upper trapezius muscle activation will be recorded by surface EMG during the task. The mean values will be normalized according to Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction (MVIC) and %MVIC values.
Wrist Splint
Neutral position and volar supported wrist orthosis which limits the flexion and deviation while allowing pronation, supination, and extension of the wrist.
Rigid Taping Group
The subjects will be asked to type on a computer for 5 minutes with rigid taping which limits the wrist flexion at the dominant side. The upper trapezius muscle activation will be recorded by surface EMG during the task. The mean values will be normalized according to Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction (MVIC) and %MVIC values.
Rigid Taping
Rigid taping in the neutral position will be performed to allow pronation, supination, and extension of the wrist while limiting the flexion and deviation.
