- Symptoms: Symptoms of Cubital
Tunnel Syndrome consist of pain and discomfort
on the inside/back of the elbow; numbness,
tingling and paresthesia affecting one-half
of the ring finger and the entire little finger.
- Cause of Symptoms: Impingement
of the ulnar nerve on the medial side (Inside)
of the elbow, often caused by compressive flexor
and pronator muscles located in the upper portion
of the forearm/elbow.
- Treatment of Symptoms:
FLEXTEND® may
help reduce compression of the ulnar nerve
at the elbow junction by stretching the overly
tight, compressive flexor and pronator muscles
in the upper forearm, and by strengthening
the supinator and extensor muscles of the
forearm.
The gentle stretching
and strengthening exercises
of FLEXTEND® can
help maintain the length of the flexor muscles and the strength
of the extensor muscles in order to reduce pressure of structures
within the Cubital Tunnel.
