Case Study: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel syndrome (CTS). The rationale for choosing CTS as the most likely differential diagnosis is based on the subjective, objective data and T.R occupation. Evidence: CTS are caused by excessive used and repetitive movements of the wrist, which cause a loss of space and impingement of the median nerve. A type of activity that is associated with CTS, is computer use (Goolsby & Grubbs, 2011). CTS is a common musculoskeletal disorder affects approximately 1.5% to 2.8% Americans. The yearly costs estimated at $2 billion. The most common involve joints are the first (thumb), second (index finger), third (middle finger), and fourth (ring finger) metacarpophalangeal. CTS symptoms include: tingling, numbness, burning, or pain usually affects the anterior part of the wrist, medial palm and the first three digits on the hand (Thiese, Gerr, Hegmann, Harris-Adamson, Dale, Evanoff, & Rempel, 2014).

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) or a pinched Median Nerve, is a very common syndrome which is more prominent in women than men due to the anatomy difference. The syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve which runs along the arm down into the hand. It controls sensory and motor functions of the hand and wrist (other than the pinky). This nerve passes through a passage in the wrist known as the carpal tunnel. The syndrome is caused by the carpal tunnel putting pressure on the median nerve mainly due to swelling around the nerve.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is weakness, tingling, numbness and other problems at hand .This disorder is a set of symptoms thought to be of pinching (compression) of the center nerve in the carpal tunnel. In terms of age, carpal tunnel condition is most common in:

What may seem like just some tingling or numbness in your wrist and hand or a sharp, shooting

For this scientific experiment, the hypothesis was “Does the suspended tray technique decrease pain caused by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?” According to the results, the hypothesis was accepted. Although most of the test results referred back to the suspended tray, there were a few that led to the regular tray technique. Of the thirty people who were tested, nineteen subjects agreed to the suspended tray as being the most comforting. Six of those thirty test subjects disagreed and believed that the regular tray technique felt more soothing. The data turned out to be this way because when people with Carpal Tunnel Syndrom put the strain on their wrist by using the regular tray technique toppled with weight, it felt uncomfortable. Although, when the

By now you must be enjoying all the compliments coming your way about that coveted ‘glow’ and the ‘luscious’ locks. Of course you might be still coming to terms with your ever-increasing tummy, but it is a lot easier to feel better about yourself when you are wearing flattering maternity clothes.

S: Aerotek TM reported his Left wrist pain on 9/6/2016. According to the TM, the pain started the day after the several attempted blood draw from his left AC on 8/30/2016 for his TB. On 8/31/2016 his left arm was edematous, and he had pain to his left arm. Within next few days, left arm edema and left forearm resolved but his left wrist pain remained. TM denies any previous injury to the location, or current work process may have contributed to his left wrist pain. The pain is related to his AC puncture for his TB labs, since he never had any issues prior to this event.

Many neuromuscular disorders, such as facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), are inherited in a dominant manner; therefore, therapies with the potential to silence disease-causing genes are important to investigate. With the emergence of candidate genes involved in various forms of myopathy, a safe and efficacious RNAi strategy can be modified to have broad-reaching effects in the treatment of these dieases.1

The United States of America contain about 123,229,000 households. Out of about 123,229,000 four out of five of the households have a system used to play video games. Also, forty-two percent of Americans play for at least three hours a week. The average eight to twelve year-old plays video games for thirteen hours a week. While the average eighteen year-old play video games fourteen hours a week. Many have claimed that they have had problems in their fingers. After a while many people have wondered if playing video games has an effect on the muscles and bones in your fingers. Yes, playing video games have many effects on your fingers. It can cause irritation to the muscles in your fingers. Video games can cause osteoarthritis and carpal

Although the percentage of families owning a desktop or laptops has remained relatively constant over the past two decades, the use of computers in the workplace is predicted to rise. In addition, the number of people owning smartphones has nearly doubled since 2011. The use of computers and smartphones can put extensive wear and tear on the wrists. This may lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a common problem among adults. This is the numbness, tingling, and weakness in one’s hand(s) due to pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. Bending the wrists while typing or texting is a major source of development for carpal tunnel. My mother, for example, works at a computer all day and has dealt with carpal tunnel for many years. If I were given funding

Mr. Jones experiences pain in his legs, numbness, tingling, and weakness along the path of the nerve being compressed. He cannot lift heavy items or stand on his feet over a long period of time. Mr. Jones does not have health insurances at this time.

S: TM reports bilateral hand numbness, denies any pain, but his hand goes numb at times. He has previous case going back to 2011. Currently his current job doesn’t requires physical involvement, but he wants have he’s case open incase his current bilateral hand numbness gets worse. His hand goes numb while he has his elbows are bent and maintain a passion and sometimes he wakes up with numbness in his hands, but never pain. TM denies lost grip or movement of his hands.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Abstract The wrist is surrounded by a band of fibrous tissue, which normally functions as a support for the joint. The tight space between this fibrous band and the wrist bone is called the carpal tunnel (The Stay Well Company, 1999). The median nerve passes through the carpal tunnel to receive sensations from the thumb, index, and middle fingers of the hand.
