Which finger/hand exercises to prevent carpal tunnel?

Gentle stretching: Of the fingers and wrist especially if one tends to stay in the same position can help prphylactically but for established nerve compression exercise will not really help.

None: There is no solid scientific data to suggest that exercises prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. Indeed, carpal tunnel syndrome can be caused by too much use.
