Best Practice Case Studies-Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Felix Takachi-Nagy, a physical therapist, explains how to address cubital tunnel syndrome involving the ulnar nerve. An ulnar nerve tension test is performed to identify irritation along the nerve's path, from the neck to the hand. During the test, the patient's nerve response is assessed by stressing it in a specific way. Felix demonstrates an ulnar nerve glide or flossing technique to be done at home once a day for 10 repetitions. This exercise involves gentle movements to avoid overstretching, aiming for a 3 out of 10 intensity level to prevent irritation and facilitate nerve mobility.
