ABSTRACT

ObjectivesThis study aimed to review manual therapies for mononeuropathies of upper limb through domestic and foreign studies designed for human body.MethodsWe searched databases (KMbase, OASIS, RISS, NDSL, KISS, KoreaMed, MEDLINE/Pubmed, CENTRAL, EMBASE) on the 1st to 31th of July 2017 to find related lit-eratures that published after 2000.ResultsTwenty-eight studies were finally included. Of these, 13 articles were published after 2010. Twenty-two studies were clinical trials and 6 were observational studies. Carpal tunnel syndrome were the most researched type of diseases (85.7%). Most frequently used method of manual therapies was neurodynamic mobilization (35.7%). Pain scales and questionnaires were generally employed for evaluation. Significantly effective studies were 72.2% in controlled trials and 90% in the studies without control group.ConclusionsIn this study, we reviewed literatures concerning manual therapies on mon-oneuropathies of upper limb. Further studies are needed on the various diseases of mono-neuropathies of upper limb to retain the evidence for the effectiveness of manual therapies. (J Korean Med Rehabil 2017;27(4):21-31)
