To compare grip and pinch strength of individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) to normative values before and after a combined splint/stretching intervention.
Data collected on grip and pinch strength on 124 subjects with CTS were compared to age- and sex-matched normative data.
In general, our sample had significantly lower strength than the normative sample at baseline. Although there were significant improvements in strength after 4 weeks of splinting/exercise, subjects continued to have significant deficits in comparison to the normative data.
Patients with CTS have moderate to large deficits in grip and pinch strength in comparison to normative data. Splinting/stretching may reduce these deficits; however, CTS patients are often left with residual problems at 4 weeks.
比较腕管综合征（CTS）患者在夹板/拉伸联合干预前后的握力和捏力与正常值的差异。
将 124 例 CTS 患者的握力和捏力数据与年龄和性别匹配的正常值数据进行比较。
总体而言，我们的样本在基线时的力量明显低于正常值样本。尽管经过 4 周的夹板/运动治疗后，力量有显著改善，但与正常值数据相比，患者仍存在明显的缺陷。
与正常值数据相比，CTS 患者的握力和捏力存在中度至重度缺陷。夹板/拉伸可能会减少这些缺陷；然而，CTS 患者在 4 周时通常仍存在残余问题。
