The responsiveness of sensibility and strength tests in patients undergoing carpal tunnel decompression.

The article focuses on a study conducted to access the responsiveness of sensibility and strength tests in patients undergoing carpal tunnel decompression using standardized clinician-derived follow up. The study found that touch threshold assessed by monofilaments (WEST) and tactile diagnosis measured with the shape-texture identification (STI) test are the most responsive tests for clinical assessment of sensibility.
