Abstract
Background: Functional problems occurring in carpal tunnel syndrome patients affecting their activities of daily living. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to insure if there is a relation between nerve conduction studies and hand function findings in carpal tunnel syndrome. Methodology: 40 female patients their age ranged from 30 to 50 years. They have been diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome by nerve conduction studies. They were assessed by pinch dynamometer for pinch strength and Boston questionnaire for assessing the symptoms severity and functional status. Results: This study revealed that there is no significant statistical relation between motor or sensory nerve conduction studies and measurements of hand function in carpal tunnel syndrome patients. Conclusion: There is no significant relation between nerve conduction studies and hand function findings in carpal tunnel syndrome patients. Hand function assessment should be done separately from nerve conduction study when assessing carpal tunnel syndrome patients
