Your hands start tingling while riding a motorcycle
Many bikers are affected by this problem, just like you. There is usually a medical cause behind this.
- While driving, your wrists will be bent on the handles of the steering wheel - the vessels that supply your hands will be squeezed off. This is made possible by constrictions in the wrists, along which the vessels run.
- Then there is numbness in the hands, tingling and abnormal sensations; Fingers and hands go to sleep.
- You can also get these symptoms while sitting or at the computer for a long time bicycle travel.
- An already existing "carpal tunnel syndrome" can also be a possible cause of your complaints when riding a motorcycle. A shortening of the muscles and ligaments in the neck-arm-hand area is also an option.
Hands falling asleep can have a harmless cause, but also illness ...
What to do when fingers fall asleep
- Let yourself be examined whether you have any shortening of the ligaments, tendons or muscles in the neck-arm-hand area.
- An existing tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome that has not been healed should be checked by a doctor. It may require re-treatment or minor wrist surgery to clear up the symptoms.
- It might be helpful to adjust the handlebars of the motorcycle to the height of your hands, so that the wrists are as straight as possible when riding a motorcycle, then the hands cannot kink. As a result, the hands do not fall asleep.
- Another possibility would be to adjust the spring tension of your motorcycle. Then the fork would bounce more and this springiness would be transferred to the fork when you steer, a boon for your hands, because your hands will absorb too hard bumps from the road.
