Resumo: ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome among bovine manual milking workers in a city of the countryside of the State of Paraná. METHODS: Sample (n=92) was selected as from medical physiotherapy prescriptions for patients diagnosed with such syndrome, in the period from 2008 to 2010. RESULTS: Participated in the study 80 females with mean age of 47.7±11.3 years, and 12 males with mean age of 43.9±12.6 years. Among patients, 41 participants (44.6%) had performed manual milking in some period of life, being 36 females (39.1%) and 5 males (5.4%). Only females with carpal tunnel syndrome remained with manual milking as their primary occupation. CONCLUSION: This study has shown high frequency of carpal tunnel syndrome among workers dealing with manual milking, and suggests the expansion of bovine milk production mechanization to prevent carpal tunnel aggressions.
