Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affects millions of Americans, is the second leading cause of surgeries in the United States, and is a major contributor to lost work time. Dr. Alan Sokoloff, a Baltimore chiropractor, is the personable host for this video (as well as for the companion work entitled Back Talk with Dr. Alan Sokoloff, reviewed in VL-3/03), which offers straight answers to questions that are divided into chapters ("What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?", "What Are the Causes?", "Who Is at Risk?", etc.). In just over a half hour, Sokoloff not only defines CTS, but also shares simple prevention exercises and touches on other disorders that may cause similar symptoms. An informative program that deserves wide distribution in libraries as well as most work environments, Hands On with Dr. Alan Sokoloff, like its predecessor on back care, will help employees avoid some work-related injuries, while helping employers reduce the number of lost work days and worker's compensation costs. Recommended. Aud: C. P. (J. Carlson)
