Experimental: Individuals with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome |
Device: KForce Sens
The device was attached to the middle of the wrist joint with the help of Velcro for all movements. Starting position of the extremity was determined and this position was introduced to the device as the reference position. Then, the participant was asked to perform the movement. Device: Baseline Electrıgoniometer The pivot point of the goniometer was placed next to the ulnar styloid for 30° and 60° wrist flexion and extension, and also it was placed in the middle carpometacarpal joint for radial and ulnar deviation. A passive movement was made to the extremity in a predetermined amount and direction. The participant was asked to remember this position. Then, the participant was asked to return the extremity to this position when their eyes were closed. |
Experimental: Healthy Controls |
Device: KForce Sens
The device was attached to the middle of the wrist joint with the help of Velcro for all movements. Starting position of the extremity was determined and this position was introduced to the device as the reference position. Then, the participant was asked to perform the movement. |
- Joint position sense [ Time Frame: Day 1 ]The evaluation of participants' wrist position sense was performed separately with a Baseline® electrogoniometer and KForce Sens®.
- Joint position sense re-test [ Time Frame: up to 1 week ]The evaluation of participants' wrist position sense was performed with KForce Sens®.
- Function and symptom severity [ Time Frame: Day 1 ]The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire included 19 items indicating the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms and difficulty in performing daily tasks.
