Relationship of Age, Body Mass Index, Wrist and Waist Circumferences to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Severity
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) has a multifactorial etiology involving systemic, anatomical, idiopathic, and ergonomic characteristics. In this study, an investigation of the relationship between the CTS degree established by electrophysiological measurements in patients with clinical CTS prediagnosis, and age, gender, body mass index (BMI), hand wrist circumference, and waist circumference measu...
متن کاملThe relationship between body mass index and the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Increased weight and, more recently, body mass index (BMI), have been suggested as risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). In an effort to determine the relative risk (RR) of obesity in the development of CTS, 949 patients who had an evaluation of the right upper extremity that included motor and sensory conduction studies of the median and ulnar nerves were reviewed. Of these patients, ...
متن کاملBody mass index and anthropometric characteristics of the hand as risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral entrapment compressive neuropathy in the upper limbs. It is often correlated with personal factors of individuals, not only with certain medical conditions and jobs. The study aimed at clarifying the association of carpal tunnel syndrome with anthropometric characteristics of the hand and body mass index (BMI) as independent risk factor...
متن کاملEvaluation of age, body mass index, and wrist index as risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome severity.
To determine the role of personal variables as risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and their relationship to severity of nerve conduction abnormality, we studied 210 consecutive symptomatic CTS patients and 320 controls subjects without CTS symptomatology or known systemic disorders. The CTS group was classified according to the severity of nerve conduction changes. The risk factors f...
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...
