Abstract
Purpose/Method : Early diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is essential for its effective treatment and subsequent reduction or prevention of the personal and economic losses associated with it. This paper describes a comparison of vibration threshold testing (VTT) and nerve conduction testing (NCT) within the same subjects. Results : Across age and diagnostic category there was little difference between VTT results and the NCT velocity measure in their ability to identify individuals with CTS. Conclusion : This is important because VTT is more easily administered and tolerated than NCT and can be used in general screening studies to identify potential CTS cases.
