Abstract


Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common medical condition that occurs when the median nerve is pinched or compressed as it passes through the wrist due to continuous long-term movement. The research aims to determine the effect of Active Stretching on the functional ability of the hands in online motorcycle taxi drivers who experience Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The type of research is quasi-experimental with sample collection techniques using the purposive sampling method. The research was carried out in May-June 2023, with a population of 35 people and a sample size of 10 people who were given intervention 9 times. Measurements in this study used the Wrist/Hand Disability Index (WHDI). The results of research on Active Stretching showed that the average functional ability of the hand before the intervention was 58 and after the intervention was given it was 43,2. The p value = 0.0005 means there is an increase in functional ability. The results of the research can be concluded that there is an influence of Active Stretching exercises on increasing the functional abilities of the hands in online motorcycle taxi drivers who experience Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
