Filter by:Hand-thumb carpometacarpal (1st CMC) joint osteoarthritis is defined as the degeneration occurring between the articular surfaces of the 1st metacarpal bone and the trapezium bone. This degeneration causes deterioration in the cartilage tissue that forms the joint structure, and as a result, patients primarily complain of pain and related loss of function. Clinical observations and studies have shown that the level of pain expressed by patients is not always compatible with the amount of degeneration in the joint. In addition, it has been clearly stated in the studies that the pain complaints of the patients are not only due to the changes in the joint, but the irritation of the nerves that receive the sensation of this joint is also effective in the level of pain. In line with the findings of the studies on this subject, mobilization exercise for the relevant nerve is included in the treatment programs of patients diagnosed with 1st CMC joint osteoarthritis in the clinic for a while. The investigators observed that the radial nerve mobilization exercise given during the process contributed to the improvement in the pain level of the patients. The investigators planned our study because there was no publication in the literature examining this effect. This study aims to investigate the effect of radial nerve mobilization exercise on pain level, functional status, and grip strength of patients diagnosed with 1st CMC joint osteoarthritis.
Lateral elbow pain can be difficult to diagnose because of the different pathologies or combinations of pathologies that can cause this clinic. Although lateral epicondylitis is the most common cause of lateral elbow pain, symptoms of radial tunnel syndrome may masquerade as lateral epicondylitis or they can be seen together with rate of 21-41%. The aim of the study is; to evaluate the presence of radial tunnel syndrome in the patients who have resistant lateral epicondylitis.
This study addresses the question if patients with fractures of the humeral shaft and primary radial nerve palsy gain nerve recovery. Additionally the influence of injury mechanism, fracture type, and treatment modality on nerve recovery should be evaluated.
Radial nerve palsy is associated with serious disability jeopardizing the grasp and power grip accountable to the loss of thumb and fingers extension and loss of active wrist extension respectively. There are three aims in the treatment of radial nerve palsy which comprise the restoration of thumb extension and abduction, finger extension and restoration of wrist extension. In this study we measured the functional outcome after tendon transfer for radial nerve palsy aimed to restore the wrist extension, finger extension and thumb extension/abduction. Investigators' objective was to assess the functional outcome after tendon transfer surgery for radial nerve palsy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a new diagnostic technique, called neuromuscular ultrasound, can improve our ability to diagnose focal nerve disease.
