Bilateral Idiopathic Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Clinical‐Functional Characterization and Efficacy of Two Combined Postoperative Physiotherapeutic Treatments

To evaluate the efficacy of combined association instrument myofascial mobilization (IASTM) and stretching in patients with idiopathic bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) operated on one hand and to analyze the response of the operated (OH) and non‐operated (NH) hand according to the sequence of therapies. Research on these parameters has not yet been found in the literature.
