Abstract

Objective: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the mostcommon entrapment neuropathy in the community. When diagnosedearly, it can be easily treated by pharmacological and non-pharmacologicalmethods. The aim of this study was to evaluate wrist range ofmotion (ROM) and grip strength in women diagnosed with carpal tunnelsyndrome and to compare the results with those of the controls. Materialand Methods: Twenty-eight women with bilateral CTS wereincluded in this cross-sectional study. The control group consisted of 41healthy age and gender matched volunteers who had right hand dominancy.Wrist range of motions (ROM) were measured by goniometer.For the intrarater and interrater reliability studies, wrist ROM measurementswere performed in 10 healthy volunteers at the beginning of thestudy. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values were calculated.Grip strength was measured by hydraulic hand dynamometer. Results:Wrist extension values in the CTS and control groups were62.66±15.56° and 77±9.9°, respectively. Wrist flexion values were57.66±11.89° in the CTS and 67.38±4.7° in the control groups. Themean grip strength values in the patient and control groups were15.32±7.27 kg and 40.40±7.80 kg, respectively (p

Özet

Amaç: Karpal tünel sendromu (KTS) toplumda en sık görülen tuzak nöropatidir. Erken tanı konulduğu zaman farmakolojik ve farmakolojik olmayan yöntemlerle kolayca tedavi edilebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı karpal tünel sendrom tanısı almış kadınlarda el bileği hareket açıklığı ve kavrama kuvvetini değerlendirmek ve kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırmak idi. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel çalışmamıza elektrofizyolojik olarak hafif- orta şiddette bilateral karpal tünel sendromu tanısı almış 28 kadın dahil edildi. Kontrol grubu yaş ve cinsiyet eşitliği sağlanmış sağ el dominant olan sağlıklı 41 gönüllüden oluşuyordu. El bileği eklem hareket açıklığı (EHA) gonyometre ile ölçüldü. Uygulayıcılar arası ve test uygulamaları arası güvenilirlik çalışmaları için, çalışmanın başında 10 sağlıklı gönüllüde bilek EHA ölçümleri yapıldı. Sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı (SKK) hesaplandı. El kavrama kuvveti, hidrolik el dinamometresi ile ölçüldü. Bulgular: KTS ve kontrol grubunda el bileği ekstansiyon derecesi sırasıyla 62,66°±15,56°ve 77°±9,9° idi. El bileği fleksiyon derecesi KTS’e 57,66°±11,89°, kontrol grubunda 67,38°±4,7° idi. Hasta ve kontrol grubundaki ortalama kavrama kuvveti sırasıyla 15,32±7,27 kg ve 40,40±7,80 kg idi (p
