ABS TRACT Objective: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy in the community. When diagnosed early, it can be easily treated by pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate wrist range of motion (ROM) and grip strength in women diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and to compare the results with those of the controls. Material and Methods: Twenty-eight women with bilateral CTS were included in this cross-sectional study. The control group consisted of 41 healthy age and gender matched volunteers who had right hand dominancy. Wrist range of motions (ROM) were measured by goniometer. For the intrarater and interrater reliability studies, wrist ROM measurements were performed in 10 healthy volunteers at the beginning of the study. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values were calculated. Grip strength was measured by hydraulic hand dynamometer. Results: Wrist extension values in the CTS and control groups were 62.66±15.56° and 77±9.9°, respectively. Wrist flexion values were 57.66±11.89° in the CTS and 67.38±4.7° in the control groups. The mean grip strength values in the patient and control groups were 15.32±7.27 kg and 40.40±7.80 kg, respectively (p<0.001). The ICC values were between 0.61-0.98 for the intrarater reliability, ICC values were between 0.76-0.97. Wrist flexion, extension, radial, ulnar deviation and hand grip strength were significantly lower in the CTS group than the control group (p<0.00). Conclusion: Wrist ROM and hand grip strength of patients with CTS resulted in decreased wrist movements and hand grip strength when they were compared with the healthy control group. Evaluating wrist ROM and hand grip strength are measurable parameters that can be used in CTS assessment.
