Standing Room Only at ASHT 2018 Presentation
September 21, 2018

Shawn Roll and Sandy Takata provided a successful and VERY well received presentation to a standing-room only audience at the 2018 conference of the American Society of Hand Therapists. The team presented on the use of sonographic imaging to better understand individual anatomical differences and the relative movements of structures within the carpal tunnel during functional hand use. Did you know that in some people you can actually pinpoint the exact movement, motion, or activity causes compression or entrapment of the median nerve?! Using musculoskeletal sonography to illuminate individual anatomical variants and risk factors for nerve compression is a perfect example of a precision medicine approach that assists therapists in targeting interventions to prevent, manage, or rehabilitate carpal tunnel syndrome.  Read more about this and other active projects on our research page.
