About this study
Official title: Evaluation of Joint Position Sense With Two Different Electrogoniometers in Mild and Moderate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The aim of the study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the KForce Sens® for the evaluation of wrist joint position sense in individuals with CTS. Wrist joint position sense was assessed with KForce Sens® and Baseline® electrogoniometer. The validity and reliability of the KForce Sens® for wrist position sense evaluation were investigated by comparing the two data sets.
- Conditions
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
KForce SensDevice
The device was attached to the middle of the wrist joint with the help of Velcro for all movements. Starting position of the extremity was determined and this position was introduced to the device as the reference position. Then, the participant was asked to perform the movement.
Baseline ElectrıgoniometerDevice
The pivot point of the goniometer was placed next to the ulnar styloid for 30° and 60° wrist flexion and extension, and also it was placed in the middle carpometacarpal joint for radial and ulnar deviation. A passive movement was made to the extremity in a predetermined amount and direction. The participant was asked to remember this position. Then, the participant was asked to return the extremity to this position when their eyes were closed.

| Healthy Controls | Experimental | Not described Receives: Device: KForce Sens |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Joint position sense
The evaluation of participants' wrist position sense was performed with a Baseline® electrogoniometer.
Measured: Day 1
Joint position test
The evaluation of participants' wrist position sense was performed with a KForce Sens®.
Measured: Day 1
Joint position sense re-test
The evaluation of participants' wrist position sense was performed with KForce Sens®.
Measured: up to 1 week
Secondary outcomes (1)
Function and symptom severity
The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire included 11 items indicating the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms, and the BCTQ-F includes 8 items indicating difficulty in performing daily tasks. Each item has five possible answers in Likert scale scored from 1 (never) to 5 (most severe). Mean values were calculated for all items in the BCTQ.
Measured: Day 1
