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).
