| مستخلص: |
A self-administered hand diagram has been developed to assist in the evaluation of upper extremity paresthesias. A rating system was devised to classify diagrams into four categories: classic, probable, possible, or unlikely carpal tunnel syndrome. Diagram ratings of 63 patients (85 hands) evaluated in a hand clinic were compared with diagnoses established independent of diagram results by objective clinical criteria. The sensitivity of diagrams rated classic or probable was 80% and specificity was 90%. We conclude that the hand diagram is valuable in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome among patients with upper extremity paresthesias. |
