To describe morphologic and functional modifications of the ulnar nerve at the wrist in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) after carpal tunnel release (CTR). ⋯ In CTS, high pressure in the carpal tunnel may result in anatomical changes of ulnar nerve, thus causing functional impairment to the ulnar fibres. CTR appears to reverse some of this damage.

To examine the neuromodulatory effect of whole-hand mesh-glove (MG) stimulation on motor cortical pathways, we explored motor cortical excitability before and after suprathreshold whole-hand MG stimulation using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). ⋯ Present results prove the MG stimulation to be a promising tool in neurorehabilitation.
