Effect of electromyography biofeedback treatment on reaction time, pain, hand grip strength, and upper extremity functional status in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate effect electromyography biofeedback (EMG-BF), which in addition conventional electrophysical therapy (EPT) commonly used symptomatic treatment carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), on motor parameters such as strength and reaction time functional pain function upper extremity.
 Materials Methods: Patients diagnosed with CTS were divided into two groups. first group EPT only (control group, n=46 hands), second that received EMG-BF (research n=42 hands). (VAS), hand grip (HGS), audio-visual (ART-VRT), extremity disability (Quick DASH) patients both groups assessed before after program.
 Results: After treatment, VRT, ART, HGS, Quick DASH significantly better favor +EMG- BF group. Before resting state (VASr), mobile (VASm), night (VASn) VAS values similar between training, -values –group.
 Conclusion: Although applications provide effective results rehabilitation CTS, together more meaningful process.
