Brief Summary

The purpose of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the home exercise program in patients who develop Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Sick Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire

  It is a test consisting of two parts evaluating symptom severity (BSSS) and functional capacity (BFCS). BSSS consists of 11 questions for symptoms. In each question there are five different answers with scores between 1 and 5. The average score is obtained by dividing the total score by the number of questions. High score indicates severe symptom. BFCS consists of 8 questions for functional capacity. Again, there are five different answers in each question, ranging from 1 to 5. The average score is obtained by dividing the total score by the number of questions. The high score indicates that the functional capacity decreases. The questionnaire has been validated and tested for Turkish society (15). The questionnaire has been validated and tested for Turkish society (16).

  Patients were evaluated before treatment and 1 month after the birth.

Patients without mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome

Behavioral: Tendon and Nerve Gliding Exercises

Interventions

Tendon and Nerve Gliding Exercises BEHAVIORAL

Tendon and Nerve Gliding Exercises: The tendon slip exercises used in this study were performed in five different positions, namely flexion, flat, hook, punch, table top and flat punch positions. Nerve-gliding exercises were performed by moving the fingers and wrists in six different positions, focusing on the median nerve consisting of all the disease grip, finger lengthening, wrist extension, thumb extension, forearm supination and gentle gentle gait. Instructions were given to make 10 sets of exercises in 3 sets, written and verbal, in order to have e exercises for all patient's tendons and nerves shifting exercises. Brochures were also provided explaining the exercises.
