Hand Pain and Sensory Deficits: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

The Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy and the Academy of Hand and Upper Extremity Physical Therapy have an ongoing effort to create evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for orthopaedic and sports physical therapy management and prevention of musculoskeletal impairments described in the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). This particular guideline focuses on hand pain and sensory deficits in carpal tunnel syndrome. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2019;49(5):CPG1-CPG85. doi:10.2519/jospt.2019.0301.
