Carpal tunnel syndrome in paraplegic patients
GELLMAN H; CHANDLER DR; PETRASEK J
J BONE JOINT SURG AM , 1988, vol. 70, n° 4, p. 517-519 Doc n°: 36804 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : AC232 - ATTEINTES DES NERFS RACHIDIENS, AE2 - PARAPLEGIE-TETRAPLEGIE Most of the activities of daily living of paraplegic patients, including the maneuver to relieve ischial pressure that consists of arising from the seated position using the extended arms, are performed with the wrists locked in maximum extension. The pressure that develops in the carpal canal during this forced extension of the wrist, probably combined with the repetitive trauma to the volar aspect of the extended wrist while propelling a wheelchair, contributes to the high frequency with which carpal tunnel syndrome is found in paraplegic patients.
