“…Carpal tunnel syndrome merupakan masalah umum dengan angka kejadian setiap tahunnya adalah 0,5-5,1 per 1000 dan di Inggris antara tahun 1992 -2001 terdapat 6.245 pasien (55,5%) menderita CTS (Jagga et al, 2011). Menurut Newington et al (2015), carpal tunnel syndrome lebih sering terjadi pada wanita dengan kejadian tahunan 1,5 per 1000 dan 0,5 per 1000 pada pria.…”

ABSTRAK Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) merupakan salah satu gangguan ekstremitas atas yang disebabkan oleh penyempitan pada terowongan karpal sehingga terjadi penekanan terhadap nervus medianus yang terletak pada pergelangan tangan. Gangguan yang terjadi pada kasus ini adalah nyeri, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek dari Ultrasound dan carpal bone mobilization dalam menurunkan nyeri pada kasus carpal tunnel syndrome. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan case study yang membahas satu kasus secara mendalam. Penelitian ini diukur dengan menggunakan Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) untuk mengetahui penurunan nyeri saat sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan terapi. Hasil dari penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa terdapat penurunan nyeri setelah dilakukan terapi..

Aim: To compare effectiveness of neurodynamics with and without wrist splint in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.Study design: Randomized controlled trial. Settings: Farooq Hospital & Akhtar Saeed Trust teaching hospital,Lahore. Methodology: In present study 34 patients were randomly allocated into two groups in which each group contains 17 patients. Group A received combined treatment approach of neurodynamics and wrist splint while group B received only neurodynamics for two weeks .Improvement in functions and pain were recorded after 2 weeks .Initially baseline measurements were taken on DASH questioner and VAS. Present RCT study was carried out at Akhtar Saeed Trust Hospital,Lahore. Analysis was established through SPSS. Results: Independent sample t test was applied in present study of 34 patients as the mean difference was greater in group A in which combined treatment approach of wrist splint and neurodynamics were applied as compared to other group B in which only neurodynamics were applied.The p value is < 0.05 which shows results were significant. Results were more significant and superior in group A as compared to group B. Conclusion: Group A in which neurodynamics and wrist splint were used found to be more effective as compared to group B in which only neurodynamics were used. Keywords: Carpal tunnel syndrome; neurodynamics; wrist splint.

“…Carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with several risk factors, including older age, female sex, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, acromegaly, amyloidosis, pregnancy, and trauma 1,4–7 . The risk of developing CTS has also been reported in certain occupations, specifically those involving high manual force, repetitive movements, use of vibratory tools, temperature extremes, and awkward or static wrist posture 1–10 . Exposure to physical workload factors such as repetitive and forceful gripping represent the greatest risk factors for CTS 3,6,8,10 .…”
