The Effects of Upper Limb Neuro Dynamic Treatment on the Pain, Grip Strength and Nerve Conduction Velocity of Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Background: When applying the upper limb neurodynamic treatment ULNT1 and upper limb neurodynamic treatment ULNT2, The object of this study evaluates the pain and grip strength, nerve conduction velocity and tries to present the treatment that is effective in the carpal tunnel syndrome through the comparison of effect between tests. Methods: The ULNT1 (n=10) and ULNT2 (n=10) was applied to the carpal tunnel syndrome in patient of 20 subject for 10 time 5 set during 4 weeks. Both groups received conventional physical therapy (hot pack with 30 minutes and ICT with 15 minutes and ultra sound with 15 minutes). Results: The ULNT1 showed the difference which the result of this study significantly in the median nerve motor latency, median nerve motor amplitude, median nerve sensory latency, median nerve sensory amplitude, grip strength and pain. ULNT2 showed the difference significantly in median nerve motor latency, median nerve motor amplitude, median nerve sensory latency, median nerve sensory amplitude and pain. Conclusions: If it implements by applying the traditional physiotherapy and ULNT1 and ULNT2 to the carpal tunnel syndrome subjects according to the subject state and function, the remedial value can be more enhanced.
