一个自我管理的手图已经开发，以协助评估上肢感觉异常。设计了一个评级系统，将图表分为四类：经典、可能、可能或不太可能的腕管综合征。本文对63例（85只手）手部门诊患者的诊断图评分与客观临床标准独立于诊断图结果的诊断进行了比较。典型或可能图的敏感性为80%，特异性为90%。我们的结论是，手图是有价值的诊断腕管综合征患者的上肢感觉异常。
A self-administered hand diagram has been developed to assist in the evaluation of upper extremity paresthesias. A rating system was devised to classify diagrams into four categories: classic, probable, possible, or unlikely carpal tunnel syndrome. Diagram ratings of 63 patients (85 hands) evaluated in a hand clinic were compared with diagnoses established independent of diagram results by objective clinical criteria. The sensitivity of diagrams rated classic or probable was 80% and specificity was 90%. We conclude that the hand diagram is valuable in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome among patients with upper extremity paresthesias.
