Abstract
An apparatus and method for monitoring the energy, such as acoustic energy, generated by the translational (or 'snapping') movement of tendons across the carpal tunnel, whereby an energy signature for such movement can be recognized. Feedback can then be provided to or about the person being monitored to permit, encourage, or force that person to choose a different movement whereby detrimental translational movement of tendons is reduced or minimized. Such reductions may result in a lower occurrence of CTS or the avoidance of its deleterious effects.
