Women with carpal tunnel syndrome show restricted cervical range of motion.
STUDY DESIGN A case control, blinded study. OBJECTIVES To compare the amount of cervical range of motion in women with minimal, mild/moderate, and severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) to that of healthy control participants. We also assessed the relationships between cervical range of motion and clinical variables related to the intensity and temporal profile of pain within each CTS group. B...
متن کاملEffects of thoracic kyphosis and forward head posture on cervical range of motion in older adults.
It is unclear how age-related postural changes such as thoracic spine kyphosis influence cervical range-of-motion (ROM) in patients with cervical spine dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to explore the mediating effects of forward head posture (FHP) on the relationship between thoracic kyphosis and cervical mobility in older adults with cervical spine dysfunction. Fifty-one older adults...
متن کاملdifferences in cervical extensor muscles thickness on subjects with normal head posture and forward head posture: an ultrasonography study
background: forward head posture (fhp) is recognized as a common postural disorder of modern societies. increase in anterior cervical convexity and anterior displacement of the line of gravity of head in individuals with fhp is assumed to result in altered moment arms and muscle activity on cervical spine. measurement of muscle thickness seems to be an appropriate index for muscle activity. thi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Clinical Symptoms in Patients with Different Severities of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Background: The carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common neuropathy caused by the entrapment of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. It causes pain and paresthesia in the hand. Objectives: To evaluate the role of clinical symptoms of CTS to determine the severity of this disorder. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study examined 75 hands of 40 patients were referred wi...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyography Findings in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common neuropathy in the general population. Nerve conduction studies are among the standard methods for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. Electromyography is painful and unpleasant, and if nerve conduction studies can be used to diagnose axonal injury in carpal tunnel syndrome, electromyography might be replaced. Objectives: This study aimed t...
