Sonographic evaluation of the thenar compartment musculature.

I-60: Sonographic Evaluation of the Fetal SkeletalAnomalies

Power grip, pinch grip, manual muscle testing or thenar atrophy – which should be assessed as a motor outcome after carpal tunnel decompression? A systematic review

BACKGROUND Objective assessment of motor function is frequently used to evaluate outcome after surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However a range of outcome measures are used and there appears to be no consensus on which measure of motor function effectively captures change. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the methods used to assess motor function in rando...

Evaluation of thenar muscles by MRI in carpal tunnel syndrome

In the present study, the thenar muscles were evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in addition, the correlations between thenar muscle changes, clinical findings and electrodiagnostic results from patients with carpal tunnel syndrome were investigated. The subjects were 13 patients (17 wrists) who were clinically diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. In all patients, a medical his...

Ankle musculature latency measurement to varing angles of sudden external oblique perturbation in normal functionally unstable ankles

 Abstract Background: Several studies have examined the reflex response of ankle musculature to sudden inversion in noninjured and injured subjects. To date, there have been no studies to determine the effect of versatile degrees & conditions of perturbation on the ankle musculature latency. The purpose of this study was to measure and determine whether there was a difference in ankle musculatu...
