Occupational Therapist Karina Lewis, along with physiotherapists Michel W Coppieters, Leo Ross, Ian Hughes, Bill Vicenzino, and Associate Professor Annina B Schmid conducted a research study on patients with CTS who are waitlisted for surgery, to identify if there is a therapist-led care pathway that reduces the need for surgery and improve patient outcomes.
