Influence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Induced by Vibratory Actions upon Fingers Mobility

Abstract:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a kind of neuropathy developed due to irritated tendons that may affect the passageway made of ligaments and bones, located at the wrist (base of palm). People affected by CTS develop symptoms such as pain in the carpal area, sometimes reflected along the entire arm, swelling, difficulties in finger motions, reduced range of motion due to pressure upon the median nerve. The present paper performs a case study upon a female subject affected by CTS. The subject is investigated and then guided to perform some exercises using the software attached to the used equipment (sensory gloves), over a controlled period of time with rehabilitation purposes.
