 What is CTS?  Affects 10 million people annually  Cost: $13 billion per year  Conservative vs. surgical Retrieved from:

Which conservative occupational therapy intervention yields the best functional outcomes for the client with carpal tunnel syndrome?

 Disagreements on use  Hall et. al (2013) - Neutral wrist splint worn full-time  Warner et. al. (2005) - Neutral wrist splint worn at night  Porrata (2007)- C-TRAC device Retrieved from: Retrieved from:

 Stretches  Tendon and Nerve gliding ▪ Horng et. al. (2011)  Lumbrical Stretches ▪ Baker et. al. (2012) Retrieved from: Retrieved from: from: Baker et. al. (2012)

 Splinting, exercises, ultrasound  Baysal et al. (2006)  Splinting with ultrasound vs. phonophoresis  Yildiz et al. (2011) Retrieved from:

 Conservative treatment is effective  Splinting  Fieldwork experience  More research needed Retrieved from: Retrieved from: faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu
