The role of splinting and rehabilitation in the treatment of carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes.
Successful treatment of patients suffering from carpal or cubital tunnel syndrome requires a skilled collaborative effort by the physician, therapist, and patient. Unfortunately, many factors influence an individual's recovery and outcome. As medical professionals, we must educate the patient, examine the physical and environmental factors involved in each case, and design unique treatment plans in each instance.
