Reliability of measurement of the carpal tunnel and median nerve in asymptomatic subjects with ultrasound

Morphology of the carpal tunnel changes with varying wrist postures and compressive forces applied to the wrist. These changes may affect the morphology and pressure on the median nerve and could be used as part of the treatment of the carpal tunnel syndrome patients. Reliability of the ultrasonographic measurements of the median nerve has been widely studied. However, there is a lack of investigation regarding reliability of ultrasonographic measurements of the carpal tunnel.
