Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to validate patient-oriented edits to a guided video on self-performed hand examination in participants with no prior hand diagnoses or medical background. The study aims to:
- examine the effect of adding interactive components to an existing orthopedic provider video
- determine if these changes enhance patients' understanding of hand and wrist anatomy as well as carpal tunnel syndrome
- determine if patients are able to use this video to perform an effective physical exam Participants will watch an original physician-oriented training video and a second version (patient-oriented video), which was edited with the input of a patient advisory committee to include interactive elements and a slower speed. The order in which the participants will watch the video will be randomized.
If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare knowledge scores and general patient preference between the two videos being examined.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients older than 18 years of age
- •Patients who comprehend and speak English
- •Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed on EMG and/or symptoms consistent with carpal tunnel syndrome, including bilateral hand pain, non-traumatic hand pain, and/or numbness/tingling in hand.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Knowledge Score immediately following the viewing of a video presenting the knowledge
Time Frame: 10 minutes after viewing the video
Score of the quiz examining the understanding of the contents of the video by the participants. Scoring was a likert scale of 1-5 where 5 represented easy to understand and 1 was very difficult to understand. Separate questions scored as a 1 or 0 where 1 equated to answering the knowledge question correctly and 0 was answering the question incorrectly.
Secondary Outcomes
- Knowledge Score immediately prior to the viewing of a video presenting the knowledge(10 minutes before viewing the video)
