The aim of our study is to determine pain, sensation and electrodiagnostic findings in CTS; to examine its effects on activity and participation.
50 patients aged 20-55 years diagnosed with mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome according to AANEM will be included. VAS, LANSS, Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (Symptom Severity Scale - Functional Status Scale), Q-DASH, hand grip sensitivity measurement, hand pressure sensitivity measurement will be applied to the participants. In order to examine the relationship between body structure and functions (Pain, Sensation, EMG findings) and activity and participation with the AMOS program, the maximum likelihood method will be selected and a structural equation model (SEM) will be established.
