Influence of body mass index on median nerve function, carpal canal pressure, and cross-sectional area of the median nerve.
Obese individuals have slowed conduction in the median nerve across the wrist, but the mechanism for this is not established. This case-control study of 27 obese subjects and 16 thin subjects was designed to test the hypothesis that obese individuals have higher carpal canal pressures and more median nerve swelling than thin individuals. All subjects were asymptomatic for hand symptoms, and had...
متن کاملDominance in hands and cross-sectional area of median nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome
Introduction: Currently, neuroresearchers report that the median nerve shows severity-correlated intracarpal enlargement in idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) as a most common peripheral neuropathic disorder. The purpose of this paper was to investigate ultrasonography morphological findings in patients with idiopathic CTS and comparing some physical properties such as age, gender, BMI wit...
متن کاملeffect of wrist deviation on median nerve cross-sectional area at proximal carpal tunnel level
background: carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders among computer users. computer users exhibit various wrist angles while typing. dynamic changes of wrist angle may cause different degrees of median nerve compression. the objective of this study was thus to investigate the effects of the combination of wrist flexion-extension with wrist deviation on me...
متن کاملMedian nerve displacement through the carpal canal.
We determined the direct relationships between wrist position and displacement of the median nerve during active contraction of the flexor tendons at the wrist with an intact, transected transverse carpal ligament (TCL). Nine fresh cadavers were mounted in an apparatus to allow variable wrist position. Excursions of the tendons and displacement of the median nerve were measured by tracking mark...
