| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Purpose: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common neuropathies. Among the treatment modalities, exercise therapy, in addition to its therapeutic effects, does not require continuous clinic visits or constant presence of a therapist, which saves the patient time and money. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare two models of therapeutic exercise including nerve glide and tendon glide.
Methods: The participants will divide into two random groups (25 in each group). The first group will receive ultrasound and nerve gliding exercises, and the second group received ultrasound and tendon gliding exercises. The treatment last 8 weeks (2 times weekly) and the participants will do these exercises at home under supervision. Before and after the intervention VAS, Boston questionnaire, dynamometer measures and electro-diagnostic tests will assessin both groups.
Results and Conclusions: regarding the effects of the neural and tendon gliding techniques, there are contradictory findings in the studies, often due to the lack of standardized study protocols and the absence of gold standard outcome measures. With the establishment of standardized protocols and the use of reliable and practical outcome measures in the current study, doing exercises at home and having a follow-up to assess the sustainability of treatment effects, it seems that neural gliding may be more effective in the treatment of CTS, considering the nature of the injury. |
