Summary
This randomized controlled trial graduate student research study will explore the effect of non-surgical intervention of the dorsal application of Kinesio Tape for carpal tunnel syndrome, and forearm wrist hand pain.
Detailed description
This randomized controlled trial graduate student research study will explore the effect of non-surgical intervention of the dorsal application of Kinesio Tape for carpal tunnel syndrome, and forearm wrist hand pain. Little evidence exists for an effective non-surgical intervention. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted to explore changes in occupational performance and compliance in order to understand if Kinesio Tape contributed to results and if so, how the participants perceived the interventions.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DEVICE | Kinesio 12 inch Tape | Kinesio Tape approximately 12-inch strip will be applied to the dorsal surface of the forearm of the affected side for three-day increments over three weeks of the study. |
| DEVICE | Kinesio 4 inch Tape | Kinesio Tape for the control group will be a 4 inch Kinesio Tape applied to the scapular spine for three day increments over three weeks of the study. |
| DEVICE | Cock up Splint and Lumbrical exercises | A general cock-up splint will be supplied, fitted, and checked on each of the four return visits by the researchers. Lumbrical exercises are also used and consist of active joint ranges for the wrist and hand. The exercises will be demonstrated by the researchers for 3-sets of 10 times each, daily, to be recorded in a log by the participants. |
