Best Practice Case Studies-Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Physical therapist Ross Nakaji discusses treatment for a patient with ulnar collateral ligament repair and ensuing ulnar nerve neuritis. Therapy includes soft tissue mobilization using tools along the elbow to relieve scar tissue and nerve entrapments. Nerve gliding exercises are also utilized, both in therapy and as home exercises, to improve ulnar nerve mobility. Techniques involve specific arm and finger positioning to induce tingling and tension, aiding in nerve mobilization. Such exercises help manage post-operative nerve issues effectively by loosening tissue and improving mobility.
