Effect of Force, Posture, and Repetitive Wrist Motion on Intraneural Blood Flow in the Median Nerve
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Pinching, deviated wrist postures, and repetitive motion are risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome. Hypervascularization of the median nerve and increased intraneural blood flow proximal to the carpal tunnel result in finger force and deviated wrist postures. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of pinching with and without force, wrist posture, and repetitive wrist motion on intraneural blood flow in the median …
