Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Doctors can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome using a combination of your history, a physical examination, and tests called nerve conduction studies.

Your doctor will look at your wrists for signs of tenderness, swelling, and any deformities. They will check sensation to the fingers and strength of the muscles in your hand.

Nerve conduction studies are diagnostic tests that can measure the conduction speed of your nerve impulses. If the nerve impulse is slower than normal as the nerve passes into the hand, you may have carpal tunnel syndrome.

It also adds strength to the base of the thumb and index finger.

Tendons: Rope-like structures, tendons connect muscles in the forearm to the bones in the hand. They allow the fingers and thumb to bend.
