First of all, let us understand what is themouse hand (carpal tunnel syndrome)? Mouse hand is a group of signs andsymptoms of the median nerve that appear in the carpal tunnel entrapment. Thecarpal tunnel is a large bone - ligament tunnel wrist has eight small bonescalled carpal and was slightly curved arrangement of the side of the palm, palm ligaments surrounding the formation of a fibrous sheath like the"tunnel", medically known as carpal tunnel. "Tunnel" nineflexor tendons of a nerve, flexor halluc is longus tendon shallow four finger through the deep flexor tendon and a median nerve. Many causes large

caused. Extrinsic compression of the lumen itself smaller cavity contents increased,

1, As for the mouse hand,more
common in middle-aged women, as for men, it’s related to the job. In the Bank,the

thumb on the palm, wrist median nerve Tinel sign was positive. Wrist flexion
test: elbow, forearm on the move, wrists flexed at 90 degrees, minutes
