Brief Summary

Trap neuropathies; They are compression neuropathies that occur as a result of peripheral nerves being compressed for various reasons along their anatomical paths. Although each nerve has areas suitable for anatomical entrapment, compression can occur at any point along the nerve. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist level. Its prevalence in the general population is 2.5-11%. Although the majority of cases are idiopathic, it may also occur secondary to pathologies such as pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, thyroid dysfunction, arthritis, wrist fractures and acromegaly or occupation. The diagnosis of CTS is made clinically, but the best method for definitive diagnosis is electrophysiological examination. Some anthropometric measurements that may be associated with CTS were made and their effect on the risk of CTS was investigated. In a study conducted by Sabry et al. in 2009, it was reported that there may be a relationship between BMI, wrist ratio (ratio of wrist depth to width) and wrist-palm ratio (ratio of wrist depth to palm length) and CTS risk. In a study by Lim et al. in 2008, it was reported that the critical value for wrist ratio was 0.70 and above. However, there were no studies reporting how many percent predictors of anthropometric measurements according to the severity of CTS.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Hand Grip Strength

  The grip strength of the dominant hand is measured using a standard adjustable digital grip dynamometer (Baseline Digital Smedley Hand Dynamometer). Handgrip strength is measured as follows: (a) Each subject is tested while sitting comfortably in a chair without armrests, with their back against the chair; (b) Each subject is instructed to sit with hips and knees flexed 90°, shoulders adducted and neutrally rotated, elbows flexed 90°, forearm rotation 0°, wrists dorsiflexed 0° to 30°, and ulnar deviation 0° to 15°; and asked to squeeze the dynamometer.

  0-1 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Hand length

Study Arms (1)

carpal tunnel syndrome

* Admitted to outpatient clinics with symptoms of CTS * Findings of CTS in physical examination * CTS diagnosis was confirmed by nerve conduction study * KTS grade mild or moderate * He has not received physical therapy for this reason in the previous 1 year * No steroid injection and no treatment for neuropathic pain (pregabalin, gabapentin, etc.)

Other: Statistically Analysis

Interventions

Statistically Analysis OTHER

The study was planned as a quantitative research. Socio-demographic information form, anthropometric measurements of hand grip strength, palm length, hand width length, wrist circumference length, Visual Analog Scale scale, EMG findings will be evaluated by hand dynamometer.
