Summary

This study looks at three common hand function tests — the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test, the Minnesota Dexterity Test, and the Nine-Hole Peg Test — to see how reliable and accurate they are for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. About 100 participants with the condition will take these tests twice, one to two weeks apart, along with questionnaires about their symptoms. The goal is to find out which test gives the most consistent and meaningful results for everyday clinic use.
