Risk for carpal tunnel syndrome is closely related to general physical condition. Our findings
confirm that healthy people are less likely to develop median nerve conduction …

As part of a longitudinal study of the etiology of carpal tunnel syndrome in industry, we
evaluated weight and body mass index (BMI) as risk factors for slowing of sensory conduction of …

471 industrial employees from 27 occupations in four industries were surveyed to evaluate
the role of occupational hand activity as a risk factor for slowing of sensory conduction of the …

This study investigates the relationship between idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome and
tenosynovial histology, specifically inflammation. Tenosynovial biopsy specimens from 177 …

In 1984 we initiated a study of factors associated with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in
industrial workers by using a case definition based on both symptoms and electrophysiologic …

… The presence of cysts in older patients, as well as in areas of mucoid degeneration, suggests
that cyst formation represents a later stage in the degenerative process, as Kulowski and …

… For the 105 patients with a short surgical incision, the average return-to-work interval was
17 days with a median of 12 days. Overall, the patients with a short incision took significantly …

In 1984, we initiated a prospective study of factors associated with research-defined carpal
tunnel syndrome (CTS) in 471 industrial workers. Medical history, lifestyle factors and job …

We compared the predictive values of three measurements of sensory conduction of the median
nerve at the carpal tunnel (maximum latency difference [MLD], 8‐cm latency [S8], and 14…

We evaluated the natural history of median nerve sensory conduction, hand/wrist symptoms,
and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in an 11‐year longitudinal study of 289 workers from …
