Wnt signaling in idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most frequently reported entrapment neuropathy; however, the exact pathological mechanism of CTS remains unknown. In a recent paper published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research, we investigated the associations between Wnt signaling and the etiology of idiopathic CTS (ICTS). We compared the expression levels of genes encoding Wnt1, 2, 3, 4, 5a, 5b, 6, 7a,...
متن کاملSeverity of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Diagnostic Accuracy of Hand and Body Anthropometric Measures
OBJECTIVE To study the diagnostic properties of hand/wrist and body measures according to validated clinical and electrophysiological carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) severity scales. METHODS We performed a prospective case-control study. For each case, two controls were enrolled. Two five-stage clinical and electrophysiological scales were used to evaluate CTS severity. Anthropometric measuremen...
متن کاملIdiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome caused by carpal stenosis.
Computed tomography was used to measure the cross-sectional area of the carpal canals in normal controls of both sexes and in women with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. The women controls had significantly smaller carpal canals than the men controls both proximally and distally. In the patients both the proximal and distal cross-sectional areas were significantly reduced compared with the wo...
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 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...
