Objetivos, material y método

Se realizó el estudio de las presiones del túnel del carpo en 103 pacientes mujeres con síndrome del túnel carpiano idiopático y 25 controles con el monitor Quick Pressure Monitor System-S.T.I.C en las posiciones neutra, flexión dorsal y palmar pasiva máxima de muñeca.

Resultados y conclusiones

Los valores de presión fueron mayores en el grupo de estudio, siendo las diferencias con el grupo control significativas (p = 0,001). Asimismo, en ambos grupos la presión fue mayor en flexión dorsal pasiva máxima de muñeca y las diferencias respecto a la presión en flexión palmar pasiva máxima y en posición neutra también fueron significativas (p = 0,01). En el grupo de estudio la presión en posición neutra o de reposo presentó una relación significativa con la pérdida objetiva de fuerza (p = 0,01), con el nivel de actividad manual (p = 0,04), con la tensión arterial diastólica (p = 0,02) y con la gravedad de la lesión nerviosa según el estudio electrodiagnóstico (p = 0,02),

Objectives, materials and methods

Carpal tunnel pressure was studied in 103 women patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome and 25 controls using the «Quick Pressure Monitor System-S.T.I.C.» in the neutral, dorsal flexion, and maximum passive palmar flexion positions of the wrist.

Results and conclusions

The pressure values were greater in the study group, with significant differences in relation to the control group (p = 0.001). In both groups, carpal tunnel pressure was greatest in maximum passive dorsal flexion of the wrist, and significantly different in maximum passive palmar flexion and in neutral position (p = 0.01). In the study group, the carpal tunnel pressure in neutral or resting position showed a significant relation with objective loss of strength (p = 0.01), level of manual activity (p = 0.04), diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.02), and the severity of nerve injury in electrodiagnostic studies (p = 0.02).
