Brief Summary

The purpose for doing this study is to determine that whether use of Power Ball in form of resistance training will be effective in increasing grip strength in carpel tunnel syndrome patient and possible benefits of the regime as effective means of rehabilitation for wrist and hand injuries. Moreover for increasing grip strength it can be used as an adjunct for physical therapy treatment.

Conditions

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Physical therapy; Median Neuropathy; Power Ball Exercise; Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Pain Intensity

  Pain Intensity will be measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

  Change in pain will be measured at initial visit, at sixth session and at the twelfth session.

• Grip Strength

  Grip Strength will be measured by using handheld dynamometry (HHD)

  Change in grip strength will be measured at initial visit, at sixth session and at the twelfth session.

• Functional Disability

  Functional disability will be measured by Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTSQ)

  Change in functional disability will be measured at initial visit, at sixth session and at the twelfth session.

Study Arms (2)

Group A

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Routine physical therapy will be given to the participants of group A

Group B

EXPERIMENTAL

Powerball exercises with routine physical therapy will be given to the participants of group B

Other: Powerball Exercises

Interventions

Routine Physical Therapy OTHER

Participants will receive routine physical therapy which includes ultrasound, nerve gliding, tendon mobilization, stretching, mobility and strengthening exercises for the wrist. Each session will last for 30 minutes with 12 sessions on alternate days (3 sessions / week).
