We studied 17 healthy volunteers (four men, 13 women; range 37\u201384 years) and 18 hands of 13 patients with CTS (three men, ten women; range 41\u201379 years). Thickness and elasticity of the TCL were evaluated by sonoelastography. Elasticity was estimated by strain ratio of an acoustic coupler, which has a standardized elasticity as a reference medium, to the TCL (AC\/T strain ratio). The AC\/T strain ratios of the healthy volunteers and the CTS patients were 6.0 and 8.1, respectively (p = 0.030). The AC\/T strain ratio showed a positive correlation with the duration of symptoms in the CTS patients (p = 0.035, r = 0.50). We concluded that increased stiffness of the TCL could be one of the causes for CTS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218810413500251","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,3]],"date-time":"2013-07-03T08:04:59Z","timestamp":1372838699000},"page":"209-214","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE STIFFNESS OF TRANSVERSE CARPAL LIGAMENT BETWEEN NORMAL SUBJECTS AND CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME PATIENTS"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Hideaki","family":"Miyamoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toshiki","family":"Miura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, JR Tokyo General Hospital, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yutaka","family":"Morizaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kosuke","family":"Uehara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takashi","family":"Ohe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sakae","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"rf1","author":"Luckhaupt S.
