The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mobilisation or splinting on symptoms after surgical Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Only original articles concerning the effect of mobilisation or splinting on symptoms after surgical Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome were included in this investigation. Concerning these topics only seven original articles were found. There was no significant influence of splinting for several weeks found on the symptom "pain" in the literature. Even there was a delay of returning to activities of daily living and the recovery of fist und keypinch strength through splinting. A program of physiotherapy and ergotherapy lead to a significant shorter recovery of dexterity in comparison to an home exercise program. Even the rehabilitated patients showed a shorter return-to-work interval. After carpal tunnel surgery neither physiotherapy nor splinting lead to a significant release of the symptom "pain". But physiotherapy leads to a shorter recovery of dexterity and shorter return-to-work interval. Due to the lack of knowledge about this topic further controlled clinical studies investigating the rehabilitation process after carpal tunnel surgery would be necessary.
