摘要: Abstract We investigated how repetitive hand activity normally affects carpal tunnel pressure and whether a flexible wrist splint can influence this effect. Nineteen healthy subjects were evaluated under four test conditions: at rest with without (baseline) while performing task splint. The involved loading unloading 1 lb. cans from box rate of 20 per minute for period 5 minutes. Carpal angles continuously monitored by means fluid-filled catheter inserted into the canal two-channel electrogoniometer mounted on dorsum forearm. Without splint, rose median baseline level 8 ± 6 mmHg to 18 13 during activity. With 21 12 Median was no different that Our data indicate nerve is subjected increased within Wearing limits range motion but has significant effect pressure.
