Carpal Tunnel Syndrome The carpal tunnel is a passageway that runs from the forearm through the wrist. Bones form three walls of the tunnel and a strong, broad ligament bridges over them. The median nerve, which supplies feeling to the thumb, index (4th digit), and ring fingers (3rd digit), and the nine tendons that flex the fingers, passes through this tunnel. This nerve, also, provides function for the muscles at the base of the thumb (the Thenar muscles). Usually, carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Abstract The wrist is surrounded by a band of fibrous tissue, which normally functions as a support for the joint. The tight space between this fibrous band and the wrist bone is called the carpal tunnel (The Stay Well Company, 1999).

A Critical Analysis of "The Doctor Won't See You Now" Initially, James Gorman appears to be stating that physicians should not be ethically obligated to treat each and every "slob" that seeks treatment.

The task I chose to analyze is the rotation of the wrist from side to side in order to arc a cane. In order to show a student the steps of rotating their wrist I would first pre-teach the student about the movement.

median nerve that travels through the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage of bone and connective in the wrist that houses the median nerve and nine tendons that help to bend the fingers and thumb. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the passage way narrows and places pressure on the median nerve. What Are the Risk Factors Associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? The most common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is repetitive hand movements. Moving the wrist and hands in the same motion over a
