Strangely the more informed we humans become the more confused we seem to be as to what is, or is not, good food. If we have difficulty in knowing what a correct diet is for ourselves, then it is not surprising that some falconers do not understand the advantages of a good diet for their hawk.
The median nerve and nine flexor tendons to the fingers pass through the carpal tunnel. Flexor tendons help flex or bend the fingers. When the median nerve in the wrist is squeezed (by swollen tissues, for example), it slows or blocks nerve impulses from travelling through the nerve.
The carpal tunnel is a pathway located at the end of the palm. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), occurs when the (median) nerve between the forearm and hand is compressed. The median nerve sends impulses into the hand and allows the thumb and fingers - aside from the little 'pinky' finger - to contract. The prevalence of CTS is affected by genetics and one's every day lifestyle.
