    CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

    Typical Symptoms
    Pain while: Holding a phone or a newspaper Gripping a steering wheel Waking up during the night

    General Diagnostic Methods


    Wrist Flexion Test (Phalens Test) X-ray

    Electromyogram
    Nerve Conduction Study

    Wrist Flexion Test


    Patient is asked to hold the wrist in complete and

    forced flexion (pushing the dorsal surfaces of both hands together) for 3060 seconds As the wrist flexes, the flexor digitorum profundus contracts in a proximal direction, drawing the lumbricals along with it This will moderately increase pressure in the wrist Thus pinching the median nerve between the proximal edge of the transverse carpal ligament & anterior border of the distal end of the radius By compressing the median nerve within the carpal tunnel characteristics symptoms appear if the test is positive

    Symptoms
    The following symptoms appear if the Phalens Test is positive: Burning, tingling or numb sensation over the thumb,index,middle and ring fingers
