Abstract

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition that involves entrapment of the median nerve at the wrist joint. Based on current research available through multiple database searches a detailed literature review of physical therapy treatment intervention efficacy studies were summarized. A hypothetical primary study is being proposed to further exam the efficacy of biofeedback therapy with therapeutic exercise compared to overnight splinting with therapeutic exercise on the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Methods for a hypothetical primary study implementation were proposed to validate treatment efficacy. Results and conclusion of data findings were hypothetically concluded based on results of previous studies within the literature review performed.
