Comparison on effectiveness of nerve mobilization and Kinesio Taping toward changes in Carpal Tunnel syndrome

Abstract

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is cause of functional disorder and chronic pain in the wrist due to median nerve compression during the carpal tunnel due to pressure which exceeds capillary perfusion pressure resulting in microcirculation disorders and arising ischemic nerves and increased interfascicular pressure causes vasodilation of blood flow to the median nerve. The study aims to determine comparison of nerve mobilization and kinesio taping toward changes in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The study was used two group pretest-posttest design. The study samples were 20 sellers who met the inclusion criteria that divided into two groups included 10 samples with nerve mobilization and 10 samples with kinesio taping. In additions, the data was analysed Wilcoxon test with SPSS program. The result showed there was significant relationship between nerve mobilization and kinesio taping toward changes in CTS on the sellers.
