IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic prompted individuals to make a number of lifestyle alterations. Few studies have examined the development of any hand and/or arm dysfunctions that may have resulted. The purpose of this study was to identify hand and/or arm overuse injuries that may have occurred as a result of the stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsA Google Trends analysis of the terms “hand pain,” “carpal tunnel syndrome,” “cubital tunnel syndrome,” “trigger finger,” “de Quervain tenosynovitis,” “elbow pain,” “tennis elbow,” “golfer’s elbow,” “thumb base arthritis,” and “extensor carpi ulnaris tenosynovitis” in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and India was performed from June 2019 to January 2023. The noted timeframe was divided into quarters of 47 weeks, with the first quarter (June 2, 2019, through April 19, 2020) serving as a pre-pandemic baseline. The analysis compared initial results noted in the first quarter to individual results from the second, third, and fourth quarters.ResultsThe most notable findings were the upward trends of the terms “hand pain,” “carpal tunnel,” and “trigger finger.” Specifically, India showed a significant increase in the terms “hand pain” and “carpal tunnel syndrome” in the second, third, and fourth quarters. The United States additionally showed a significant upward trend in the terms “carpal tunnel syndrome” and “trigger finger” in the second, third, and fourth quarters. The United Kingdom also reported a significant upward trend in the term “trigger finger” in the second, third, and fourth quarters.ConclusionNumerous factors likely contributed to the increased interest in these terms, such as the increase in telework and associated mobile device usage due to lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Movements associated with performing these tasks may have led to an increased prevalence of hand pain, thus prompting increased queries of these terms through an online search engine.
