Abstract

Background: pronator teres syndrome is common musculoskeletal disorder and medical condition that remains one of the most frequently forms of median nerve compression. Agricultural tasks, such as manual ploughing, hoeing, harvesting, and machinery operation, often involve repetitive forearm pronation, wrist flexion, and gripping actions. These activities can strain the pronator teres muscle and increase the risk of compressing the median nerve.

Methodology: Total 108 subjects were taken inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subject were assessed for pronator teres syndrome using the resistive pronation /supination test and visual analogue scale for pain. The data was then taken on Excel sheet and statistical analysis was done.

Result: The overall prevalence of Pronator Teres Syndrome Identified in the study population (N=108) was 25% (27 positive cases). The study population consisted of 61.10% males (n=66) and 38.90% females (n=42). Analysing the results by gender showed a marked difference in prevalence. The prevalence of PTS among male farm workers was 21 4.5% (n=3), while the prevalence among female farm workers was 57.1% (n=24).

Conclusion: This study concludes that farm workers were prone to develop pronator teres syndrome, with a markedly higher occurrence in females than males.
