Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common neuropathy of the upper limb and a significant contributor to hand functional impairment and disability. Hand is an important part of body to perform the complex daily living activities. Purpose: To investigate the effect of Kinesio Taping on hand grip and nerve conduction velocity on patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Material and Methods: Thirty Carpal Tunnel Syndrome patients from both genders (17 female and 13 male) their Body Mass Index ranged from 30 to 40 Kg/m2 and their age ranged from 30 to 60 years old. Design of study: Pre test and post test Experimental control design and were randomly assigned into three groups ten patients in each group, Group (A) received traditional treatment (us and traditional excercise program for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) for thirty minutes, three times per week for six weeks, Group (B) received traditional treatment program for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in addition to wrist Kinesio taping technique and Group (C) received traditional treatment program for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in addition medication. All participants were assessed before and after the end of treatment with hand grip dynamometer and nerve conduction testing. Results: Within the three groups: In Group (B) there was a highly significant increase in the hand grip strength and decrease in motor and sensory distal latencies of median nerve. Alpha level was set at (p<0.05). Conclusion: The application of wrist Kinesio Taping technique in addition traditional exercises program has a positive effect on hand grip strength and on motor and sensory distal latencies of median nerve in CTS patients
