The carpal tunnel is an elaborate biomechanical structure whose pathomechanics plays an
essential role in the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this article is to …

Two important goals of ergonomics are the comfort, and the health and safety of workers. In
many ways these are mutually compatible, for where health and safety is jeopardized, the …

Although carpal tunnel release is one of the most commonly performed procedures in the
USA, the morphology of the carpal tunnel as determined previously in the literature has …

This study investigated the effects of wrist angle, sex, and handedness on the changes in the
median nerve cross-sectional area (MNCSA) and median nerve diameters, namely …

BACKGROUND: Wrist anthropometrics and posture have been implicated in the
development of carpal tunnel syndrome, yet it remains unclear how external measurements …

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), majority of cases are considered to be idiopathic, is the most
commonly encountered peripheral neuropathy causing disability. We asserted that thick and …

Carpal tunnel mechanics is relevant to our understanding of median nerve compression in
the tunnel. The compliant characteristics of the tunnel strongly influence its mechanical …

BACKGROUND: Carpal tunnel morphology plays an essential role in the etiology and
treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to observe the …

Purpose Our aim was to study the dynamics of the post-surgical canal and nerve volumes
and their relationships to objective [electromyoneurography (EMNG)] and subjective (pain) …

BACKGROUND: Deviated wrist postures have been linked to carpal tunnel syndrome
development, yet the effect of posture on carpal tunnel volume remains unclear. The …
