“…McCabe and Xue in another study observed that the incidence of this syndrome is significantly higher in the patients who sleep on their left or right side compared to the patients who sleep on other positions [15]. McCabe et al retested their study on patients with this syndrome but with control group and obtained the same results [16].…”

“…It seems that sleeping on either side's increases extension or flections of the wrist. Therefore, these sleep positions increases pressure on the median nerve and ultimately increases prevalence of the disease [16,20].…”

“…These individuals had the same age and sex as the patients. Sample size was determined as 220 patients and 320 healthy with 5% alpha, 10% beta and also, power of study was 90% [16]. Participation in the study was voluntary and the research was approved by the ethics committee of Kerman University.…”

High‐resolution ultrasound demonstrates in vivo effects of wrist movement on the median nerve along the forearm

et al. 2021

Introduction/Aims High‐resolution ultrasound (HRUS) is the imaging method of choice to visualize peripheral nerve size, structure, and biomechanical performance. The purpose of this study was to show and quantify the effects of active and passive wrist alignment on median nerve (MN) cross‐sectional area (CSA) along the forearm in a healthy population. Methods Sixteen healthy volunteers underwent HRUS of their dominant forearm (n = 16, 10 males, 6 females, 18–55 y of age). Median nerveʼs CSA was assessed at four defined areas on the forearm in relation to active and passive wrist alignment. Results Changes in wrist alignment were significantly associated with MN CSA (P < .001), regardless if the wrist was moved actively or passively. MN CSA was lowest during passive extension of the wrist joint and highest during passive flexion of the wrist joint (range: 4.5–23.2 mm2). Discussion The elasticity of nerve tissue, the loose connective tissue between the fascicles, and the paraneurium allow peripheral nerves to adapt to longitudinal strain. HRUS enables the demonstration of significant median nerve CSA changes along the forearm during active and passive wrist movement in healthy volunteers.

Human in-bed pose estimation has huge practical values in medical and healthcare applications yet still mainly relies on expensive pressure mapping (PM) solutions. In this paper, we introduce our novel physics inspired visionbased approach that addresses the challenging issues associated with the in-bed pose estimation problem including monitoring a fully covered person in complete darkness. We reformulated this problem using our proposed Under the Cover Imaging via Thermal Diffusion (UCITD) method to capture the high resolution pose information of the body even when it is fully covered by using a long wavelength IR technique. We proposed a physical hyperparameter concept through which we achieved high quality groundtruth pose labels in different modalities. A fully annotated in-bed pose dataset called Simultaneously-collected multimodal Lying Pose (SLP) is also formed/released with the same order of magnitude as most existing large-scale human pose datasets to support complex models' training and evaluation. A network trained from scratch on it and tested on two diverse settings, one in a living room and the other in a hospital room showed pose estimation performance of 98.0% and 96.0% in PCK0.2 standard, respectively. Moreover, in a multi-factor comparison with a state-of-the art in-bed pose monitoring solution based on PM, our solution showed significant superiority in all practical aspects by being 60 times cheaper, 300 times smaller, while having higher pose recognition granularity and accuracy.

Preferred Sleep Position on the Side is Associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Abstract: Our findings of a strong association between the presence of carpal tunnel syndrome and preferred sleeping on the side suggest a comprehensive unifying theory of causation.
