Background: The most common peripheral nerve compression disorder worldwide is CTS which,
commonly demand surgery which may be costly and risky. Therefore, some techniques such as
neurodynamic exercise and wrist glide exercises have not been researched for a possible improvement of
symptoms and hand function in patient with CTS.
Objective: A quasi- experimental study was used in this study to compare the neurodynamic wrist
exercises and wrist glide exercises on severity of symptoms, range of motion and hand functions of
adults with mild to moderate chronic carpal tunnel syndrome.
Methods: Four weeks of a comprehensive intervention starting on the day of diagnosis was completed
by thirty-four adult patients who received a diagnosis of mild to moderate CTS affecting 34 affected
hands that met the inclusion criteria. This study was taken before and after the intervention with the help
of Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ), which includes the
Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) and Functional Status Scale (FSS).
