Will Kranking aggravate carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow?
A. The neutral wrist position is the best to maintain for all activities where hand, wrist and arm actions are involved. The Krankhandle enables you to maintain the neutral wrist position throughout a wide variety of tasks while offering a choice of gripping positions. The grip angle off the Krankaxis was selected because it is the most relaxed position of the forearm in a neutral position. It mimics the resulting forearm rotation when the arm is hanging relaxed at your side. There has been no evidence of Kranking aggravating carpal tunnel syndrome, as it is natural to maintain a flat wrist while Kranking. We have noticed that elbow “flaring” seems to occur more easily, especially at high cadences, and has been reported to exacerbate already existing conditions of tennis elbow. However, this was easily rectified with technique instruction.
