How Dupuytren's Disease Affects Typing?

The tissue on the hand and the finger that lies just beneath the skin is known as the fascia. When a person is suffering from Vikings Disease , they will experience a finger's bending because the fascia thickens and tightens. Once the finger has bent from this thickening, it is impossible to straighten it back out. In some cases, this can be excruciating for the patient, especially when the thickened skin is near a nerve. This condition is called Vikings Disease but is also known as Dupuytren's Contracture or Dupuytren's Disease. There are other names for Dupuytren's Contracture; in the British Isles, it is known as Celtic Hand or even McCrimmons Curse.    Why is it Called Vikings Disease?   Dupuytren's Contracture inherited the name Vikings Disease from the Vikings. It was prevalent for Viking males to suffer from the condition, so they gave the disease its name. It was because of the Vikings spreading the disease throughout Northern Europe.

Dupuytren's Contracture starts as a lump, bump, or nodule on the hand; this is not ordinarily painful unless it is on top of a nerve and, for the most part, is not noticeable. It isn't until the disease progresses that most patients will even bother to take notice, and at this stage, it usually is too late. As the disease progresses, a cord develops from the hand's bump to one of the main joints on the finger. This cord will pull at the joint, making the finger bend unnaturally towards the palm's center. Once the finger's bending begins, the only way to correct it is with surgery or needle aponeurotomy.  What makes Dupuytren's Contracture so unusual is the fact that so little is really known about the condition. What we do know is that this condition is hered
