Summary

The aim of the study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the KForce Sens® for the evaluation of wrist joint position sense in individuals with CTS. Wrist joint position sense was assessed with KForce Sens® and Baseline® electrogoniometer. The validity and reliability of the KForce Sens® for wrist position sense evaluation were investigated by comparing the two data sets.

Conditions

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	KForce Sens	The device was attached to the middle of the wrist joint with the help of Velcro for all movements. Starting position of the extremity was determined and this position was introduced to the device as the reference position. Then, the participant was asked to perform the movement.
DEVICE	Baseline Electrıgoniometer	The pivot point of the goniometer was placed next to the ulnar styloid for 30° and 60° wrist flexion and extension, and also it was placed in the middle carpometacarpal joint for radial and ulnar deviation. A passive movement was made to the extremity in a predetermined amount and direction. The participant was asked to remember this position. Then, the participant was asked to return the extremity to this position when their eyes were closed.
