Abstract
This critical appraisal looks at a 1998 article published by the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Vienna. The article is a randomized clinical trial aiming to investigate the clinical efficacy of pulsed ultrasound in the treatment of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. An introduction explaining the purpose behind this critical appraisal is provided before describing the methods of my research. The results section of this paper breaks down my analysis of the article's introduction, methods, results, and discussion. To close out my analysis, the discussion describes the possible implementation of ultrasound intervention on physical therapy patients.
