Abstract
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment
neuropathy. Cervical spine may be involved in individuals with CTS, due to the
possibility of double compression. A cervical postural abnormality like forward head
posture may predispose patients to develop CTS. Determining the cranio-cervical
angle is a key measurement of forward head posture as it is one of the most common
postural abnormalities that produces stress and strain on the cervical spine. Purpose
of Study: To investigate the relationship between cranio-cervical angle and nerve
conduction studies in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Subjects and Methods:
Ninety subjects participated in the study. Sixty patients with mild to moderate carpal
tunnel syndrome were enrolled in the (study group). Thirty healthy subjects were
enrolled in the (control group).
