Abstract

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most frequent entrapment neuropathy in the upper limb. Although more objective methods for assessment have been reported in literature, there is a lack of evidence concerning the best methods for assessment of CTS. This study aimed to investigate whether there was a dif-ference in the first web space in patients with different severities of CTS in relation to healthy controls as easy screen method. Methods: This prospective controlled trial was conducted on 126 patients at the Physical Medicine and Reha-bilitation Clinic, Ankara Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Education and Research Hospital, University of Health Sci-ence, Ankara, Turkey, from January 2016 to January 2018. Hand grip and pinch strength of patients were de-termined. Also, first web angle were measured by goniometer. Patients were divided into 3 CTS groups as elec-trophysiologically: "mild: group 1", "moderate: group 2" and "severe: group 3". Patient and healthy groups were compared in terms of the evaluation parameters. Comparisons were also made between these groups. Results: There was significant reduction in hand strengths and first web angle in patient groups compared to healthy groups (P<0. 05). Moreover, the first web angle was significantly different between the CTS groups (P= 0. 001). The cut-off value for CTS was <38. 5º . Conclusion: The possibility of CTS can be evaluated by measuring the first web space angle with a simple go-niometer as a easy and in-expensive method in outpatient clinics.
