Summary

The aim of this study is to find out the influence of mechanical interface mobilization technique which consists of 5 different steps, in management of carpal tunnel syndrome and how this technique effects pain and functional status in individuals who has carpal tunnel syndrome.

Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Mechanical Interface Mobilisation Technique

In the mechanical interface group, five techniques, including; wrist distraction (3 sets for 3 minutes), rhythmic and gentle stretching of the transverse carpal ligaments, release of palmar hand fascia, gliding of the finger flexor tendons (using oscillatory flexion-extension movement of metacarpophalangeal joint), and release of the upper forearm muscle and fascia will be applied. To release the upper forearm muscle as demonstrated for pronator teres muscle in, the therapist applied a firm pressure on the origin of the muscle by one thumb and concurrently moved the forearm into extension and supination (17).

OTHER

Exercise Therapy

Participants in this group will perform myofascial stretching of the carpal ligament, 3 days per week for four weeks along with isometric exercises at wrist joint as demonstrated by the physiotherapist. The participants will be instructed to perform gentle, pain-free isometrics of the wrist and hand musculature (25). Exercise would be performed with 5-10-second hold, with 10 repetitions (26).
