A Study about the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Komal .

Abstract


The hand and wrist are both affected by the medical illness known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It happens when the median nerve, which travels through the carpal tunnel and connects the forearm to the hand, is crushed or squeezed. On the palm side of the wrist, a small, inflexible conduit called the carpal tunnel is formed of bones and ligaments.
