Definition: CTS

Median nerve compression Nerve passes under the transverse

carpal ligament and through carpal tunnel

“Median nerve compression syndrome”

Page 3: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Angela Whittington. Definition: CTS Median nerve compression Nerve passes under the transverse carpal ligament and through carpal.

MOI: CTS

Results from prolonged/repeated wrist flexion or extension during daily activities

Particularly when forceful and for prolonged periods without rest

Page 4: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Angela Whittington. Definition: CTS Median nerve compression Nerve passes under the transverse carpal ligament and through carpal.

Signs & Sypmtoms: CTS Loss of sensation over

median nerve distribution

Pain radiating or extending from your wrist up arm & shoulder & down into palm or fingers

A sense of weakness in your hands and a tendency to drop objects

Symptoms increase at night

Goals of Treatment & Rehab

Relieving symptoms with modalities Cock-up Splint Ice, iontophoresis, E-stim NSAIDs, Vitamin B6 & C

Maintain or ↑ flexibility for wrist & finger flexors

Strengthen Wrist, thumb, and finger movements
