Occupational Therapists often treat carpal tunnel syndrome, this study guide sheds light on protocols, research, and techniques, to enlighten OT’s/OTA’s on the treatment process. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. The condition occurs when one of the major nerves to the hand — the median nerve — is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist. In most patients, carpal tunnel syndrome gets worse over time, so early diagnosis and treatment are important. In this study guide you will find:
