Time to talk about good ol' carpal tunnel syndrome! In this episode, Dr. Michael Powers discusses key considerations of managing carpal tunnel syndrome, including the importance of patient history and the use of evidence-based practice in clinical-decision making. He also highlights the importance of knowing your anatomy, including knowing the unforgiving structure of the carpal tunnel (how many flexor tendons are squeezed in there?) and recalling peripheral nerves are complex structures composed of multiple neurons functionally grouped together in fascicles. This episode is a must-listen if you're wanting to improve your confidence in applying the evidence toward the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of carpal tunnel syndrome!
