The objective of this study was to determine whether patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) manifest changes in early-stage motor function and to investigate the utility of a gyrosensor for quantitative evaluation of motor function.
Angular velocity signal was measured during finger tapping in 52 patients with mild-to-moderate CTS and 45 controls. Four finger-tapping performance (FTP) values-root-mean-squared (RMS) velocity, RMS angle, peak power, and total power-were derived from the signal.
All FTP values were significantly lower in patients with CTS than in controls (P = 0.001 or P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the mild and moderate CTS subgroups.
FTP measurement with a gyrosensor represents a valuable tool for the evaluation of median nerve motor function in patients with CTS. It facilitates the detection of subclinical motor dysfunction in patients with early stage CTS. Muscle Nerve 59:465-469, 2019.
本研究旨在确定腕管综合征（CTS）患者是否存在早期运动功能变化，并探讨陀螺仪传感器在定量评估运动功能方面的应用。
在 52 例轻至中度 CTS 患者和 45 例对照组中，测量手指敲击期间的角速度信号。从信号中得出四个手指敲击性能（FTP）值-均方根（RMS）速度、RMS 角度、峰值功率和总功率。
所有 FTP 值在 CTS 患者中均明显低于对照组（P=0.001 或 P<0.001）。轻度和中度 CTS 亚组之间无显著差异。
使用陀螺仪传感器进行 FTP 测量是评估 CTS 患者正中神经运动功能的有价值工具。它有助于检测早期 CTS 患者的亚临床运动功能障碍。肌肉神经 59:465-469, 2019.
