Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the clinical manifestation of compression of median nerve in the volar aspect of wrist leading to sensory, motor and autonomic dysfunction in the hands. This review article outlined the evidence for exercise therapy in CTS to identify the type, dosage and prescription in this population. The presented evidence includes many studies on splinting versus nerve/ tendon gliding exercises, one study on nerve slider techniques, one study on aerobic exercises, one study on carpal tunnel decompression exercises and one study on upper extremity flexibility, strength, and circulatory exercises for people with CTS. Insufficient evidence and inconsistent findings limit our conclusions and provision of definitive recommendations in this population.
