Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Trap neuropathies; They are compression neuropathies that occur as a result of peripheral nerves being compressed for various reasons along their anatomical paths. Although each nerve has areas suitable for anatomical entrapment, compression can occur at any point along the nerve. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist level. Its prevalence in the general population is 2.5-11%.

Although the majority of cases are idiopathic, it may also occur secondary to pathologies such as pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, thyroid dysfunction, arthritis, wrist fractures and acromegaly or occupation. The diagnosis of CTS is made clinically, but the best method for definitive diagnosis is electrophysiological examination.

Some anthropometric measurements that may be associated with CTS were made and their effect on the risk of CTS was investigated. In a study conducted by Sabry et al. in 2009, it was reported that there may be a relationship between BMI, wrist ratio (ratio of wrist depth to width) and wrist-palm ratio (ratio of wrist depth to palm length) and CTS risk. In a study by Lim et al. in 2008, it was reported that the critical value for wrist ratio was 0.70 and above. However, there were no studies reporting how many percent predictors of anthropometric measurements according to the severity of CTS.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study was planned as a quantitative research. Socio-demographic information form, anthropometric measurements of hand grip strength, palm length, hand width length, wrist circumference length, Visual Analog Scale scale, EMG findings will be evaluated by hand dynamometer.

Trybus et al. Considering the study they conducted in patients with CTS in which they examined hand anthropometric measurements in CTS, it was planned to include 100 patients in the study with a power range of 80% and an effect width of 0.05.
