Open the original- What it measures
- The passage sits between the carpal tunnel pressure concern and the neck and shoulder benefit, and CCOHS presents the two as a debate.
- What it does not show
- CCOHS does not name the studies behind the neck and shoulder claim in this passage, so the claim is only as strong as that unnamed evidence.
