Carpal tunnel tendon and sub-synovial connective tissue mechanics are affected by reduced venous return
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The effects of blood flow occlusion and sex-specific differences in tendon-subsynovial connective tissue relative strain are not well understood. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of blood flow, biological sex, and finger movement speed on carpal tunnel tendon mechanics to further develop our understanding of carpal tunnel syndrome.
METHODS: Colour Doppler ultrasound imaging quantified relative motion …
