Carpal Arch Compression Decreases Median Nerve Flattening in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Patients
The carpal tunnel in the wrist is formed by the interconnected carpal bones and the transverse carpal ligament (TCL). The tunnel contents include the median nerve, which is susceptible to entrapment in the space-limited tunnel leading to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). CTS patients have increased flattening of the median nerve which is alleviated after surgically transecting the TCL to increase c...
متن کاملACUPUNCTURE AND CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME About carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome comprises potentially disabling sensory and/or motor symptoms in the hand. Around 1 in 10 people develop carpal tunnel syndrome at some point, and it is particularly common in women (Hughes 2007), with one study in the UK indicating an incidence of 139.4 cases per 100,000 women per year and 67.2 cases per 100,000 men (Bland 2003). The condition carries considerable implic...
متن کاملTotal joint arthroplasty for osteoarthritis of the thumb basal joint.
A survey of 43 cemented arthroplasties of the trapeziometacarpal joint with a la Caffinière prosthesis in 40 patients is presented. A 70% patient satisfaction rate was obtained, with a mean DASH score of 24.2. Good range of motion was preserved (opposition 9/10 on Kapandji's scale) and gripping force as well as key pinch force increased from 18 kg to 24 kg and from 5.3 to 6.0 kg respectively. H...
متن کاملEffect of wrist posture on carpal tunnel pressure while typing.
Long weekly hours of keyboard use may lead to or aggravate carpal tunnel syndrome. The effects of typing on fluid pressure in the carpal tunnel, a possible mediator of carpal tunnel syndrome, are unknown. Twenty healthy subjects participated in a laboratory study to investigate the effects of typing at different wrist postures on carpal tunnel pressure of the right hand. Changes in wrist flexio...
متن کاملGuidelines for Wrist Posture Based on Carpal Tunnel Pressure Thresholds
OBJECTIVE To develop work guidelines for wrist posture based on carpal tunnel pressure. BACKGROUND Wrist posture is considered a risk factor for distal upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders, and sustained wrist deviation from neutral at work may be associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. However, the physiologic basis for wrist posture guidelines at work is limited. METHODS The relation...
