Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Summary of Clinical Practice Guideline Recommendations-Using the Evidence to Guide Physical
Abstract:
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common upper extremity nerve compression syndrome. Patients with CTS experience reduced sensation, dexterity, and function. Irreversible changes in nerve structure and function due to demyelination and axonal damage can occur in long-standing cases. Published in the May 2019 issue of JOSPT, clinical practice guidelines for CTS summarize the best available evidence on incidence and prevalence, pathophysiology, classification, risk factors, examination techniques, and interventions. These guidelines provide practical recommendations for physical therapy examination, diagnosis, and treatment. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2019;49(5):359-360. doi:10.2519/jospt.2019.0501.
