INTRODUCTION TO CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
- Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition of the wrist where the median nerve is injured or depressed.
- This is due to repeated use of the wrist or a physical injury.

- Median nerve is an important nerve on the hand.
- It gives sensation to thumb, middle, ring and index fingers.
- This nerve is protected by carpal tunnel.
- This is a thick band of muscles around the median nerve.
- This muscular sheath is very strong and hard and is meant to protect the nerves inside it.
