A study of carpal tunnel injury following electrical trauma

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is sometimes diagnosed post electrical injury. Unfortunately, there is no clear causal connection between electric shock and the electro-diagnostic indications of CTS. One might thus infer that the electro-diagnostic appearance of signal slowing through the carpel tunnel is indicative of electrical injury to the median nerve as opposed to the mechanical compression as expected in CTS. This hypothesis is evaluated based on an analysis using parametric data for human tissues for ten hand-to-hand electrical contacts
