- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of the modified Phalen's test (MPT) in detecting carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It relates the study by S. Bilkis and colleagues which shows that the MPT has correctly identified CTS in 46 of the 66 hands of adult participants while the traditional PT correctly identified 23 hands. It adds that the addition of monofilament testing in TPT can increase the sensitivity for CTS detection.
