A Síndrome do Túnel Carpiano é uma neuropatia compressiva do nervo mediano que desencadeia défices motores e sensoriais que interferem com o desempenho dos papéis ocupacionais e, concomitantemente, com a Qualidade de Vida. Este trabalho tem como objectivo principal definir quais os benefícios do uso da tala nocturna e o impacto manifesto na Qualidade de Vida do indivíduo com esta patologia.
Os resultados revelaram uma melhoria na percepção do estado de Saúde Geral, bem como uma diminuição do nível da dor no grupo ao qual se aplicou a tala, sugerindo que esta intervenção promove uma melhoria da Qualidade de Vida.
