Evaluation and Treatment of Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome

Course overview

Do your patients report numbness and tingling in the ring and small finger or report hand weakness? How do you determine where the nerve compression is coming from? This course will explore the anatomy of the ulnar nerve and discuss the anatomical considerations influencing ulnar nerve compression of the wrist. You will learn skills necessary to differentiate between proximal nerve compression and compression of the ulnar nerve at Guyon's canal through a comprehensive evaluation. Treatment options will be explored, such as custom orthoses, exercise, and manual techniques to improve the nerve's ability to glide.
