Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'cumulative trauma disorder (CTD)': CTDs are injuries caused by repetitive stress or strain on specific parts of the body over time. They often result from repetitive motions, awkward postures, or prolonged activities.

Identify the anatomical region involved: The problem specifies 'prolonged or repetitive flexing of the wrist,' which points to the wrist and hand area as the affected region.

Review the conditions listed: Tennis elbow affects the elbow, rotator cuff injury involves the shoulder, and plantar fasciitis impacts the foot. These are not directly related to wrist flexion. Carpal tunnel syndrome, however, is associated with the wrist and hand.

Understand carpal tunnel syndrome: This condition occurs when the median nerve, which passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, becomes compressed due to repetitive wrist movements or prolonged flexion. Symptoms include pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers.

Conclude that carpal tunnel syndrome is the most likely CTD associated with repetitive wrist flexion, as it directly involves the wrist and is caused by repetitive strain in this area.
