Abstract

Introduction:: Human hand is commonly known to achieve its predominance over that of other animals, by possessing an opposable thumb. Type writing is an essential tool required by students and many professionals in day to day life. It is a complex process which involves close coordination between musculoskeletal and nervous system.

Aims and Objectives: Analyze the effect of trigger release via dry needling over wrist extensors on improving type writing speed.

Methodology: It was a quasi-experimental study conducted on 20 subjects work on computer based job in Innovations Group, Dubai. Time duration for study is four weeks. Totally four sessions as one session for week. Type writing speed and NPRS used to analyze the results.

Result: The results of the type writing speed analysis of the study population shows at the beginning the overall mean type writing speed was 25 words per minute. After 2 weeks of four sessions it increased to 32 words per minute and remarkable relief in pain
