In this video, we are going to look at the 10 L sign for cubital tunnel syndrome. Get our very own assessment ebook and mobile app. Links are in the video description. Hi, and welcome back to Physio Juno's cubital tunnel syndrome. It is a peripheral entrapment neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. It's the second most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper limb and is commonly seen after trauma resulting in a fracture or dislocation at the elbow, arthritis, or repetitive strain. According to a well-designed study by Big Money et al. in 2009, the teen L sign had a sensitivity of 62% and a specificity of 53%. Even paired with other tests for the condition, it did not yield acceptable diagnostic ability, which is why the clinical value is rather weak. To conduct the test, the patient is in a sitting position. Support the arm to be tested and then, using a reflex hammer, lightly tap on the ulnar nerve just proximal to the cubital tunnel four to

six times the test is positive if the patient reports familiar symptoms along the ulnar nerve that includes pain, tingling, and numbness. All right, you can check out another test for cubital tunnel syndrome on the left, and if you want to dive deeper into the literature used in this video, check the links in the video description down below.
