Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Upper Extremity Functional Index in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. This cross-sectional study included 101 patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome at a university hospital. Patients were administered the Upper Extremity Functional Index, Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire, and Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire surveys. Test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the Upper Extremity Fuctional Index were evaluated.
