摘要
Previously presented evidence indicates that carpal tunnel syndrome is related to compression of the median nerve inside the carpal tunnel. Biomechanical arguments in which the extrinsic finger flexor tendons inside the carpal tunnel are characterized as a frictionless pulley-belt mechanism are presented to show quantitatively how wrist size, wrist position and hand position affect forces on the tendons and their adjacent structures. © 1979.
