Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome CTS is the most common peripheral neuropathy seen in clinic. It results in marked functional limitations of patients. Most patients undergo surgical release which places a heavy burden on health system. Neurodynamic exercise is claimed to be an effective physiotherapy treatment for these patients. It is a practical and complications-free treatment which can be used as a home exercise program. This study aims to investigate the effect of median nerve gliding exercise on symptoms severity and functional limitation in CTS patients.
