Hand Function Tests in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Cross-sectional Study

This is a cross-sectional study that aims to establish the test-retest reliability of two standardized tests (Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test and Nine-Hole Peg Test) in individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The study will involve at least 50 participants with CTS who will complete the tests twice, with a 1-week interval between the two assessments. The test-retest reliability will be assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots. The study is expected to provide information on the reliability of these tests in individuals with CTS, which can help clinicians more accurately assess hand function and monitor treatment outcomes.
