Abstract

Purpose: Our aim was to assess wrist muscle strength and handgrip strength in women with CTS by means of hand held dynamometer (HHD) and Jamar handgrip (JH) dynamometer and to compare these results with healthy individuals. Materials and methods: 12 female patients with bilateral CTS (mean age: 46.25±9.12 years) and 12 healthy female volunteers (mean age: 46.33±9.92 years) were evaluated. Wrist flexor strength and extensor muscle strength were assessed by HHD; handgrip strength was assessed by JH dynamometer; pain was assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and all tests were administered by the same investigator. Results: There were no significant differences between demographic data of the two groups. Right wrist flexor and extensor muscle and left wrist extensor muscle strength (p

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı karpal tünel sendromu (KTS) olan kadınlarda “Hand-held” dinamometer (HHD) ve “Jamar Handgrip” (JH) aletini kullanarak el bileği kas kuvveti ve elin kavrama kuvvetini değerlendirmek ve sonuçları sağlıklı bireylerle karşılaştırmaktı. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmamızda bilateral KTS olan 12 kadın hasta (yaş ortalaması: 46.25±9.12 yıl) ve 12 sağlıklı kadın gönüllü (yaş ortalaması: 46.33±9.92 yıl) değerlendirildi. El bileği fleksör ve ekstansör kas gücü HHD, kavrama gücü JH aleti ve ağrı derecesi “Görsel Analog Skala (GAS)” ile aynı kişi tarafından değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Gruplar demografik özellikler açısından benzerdi. KTS olan hastaların HHD ölçümlerinde sağ el bileği fleksör ve her iki el bileği ekstansör kas güçleri azalmıştı (p
