Symptoms include pain radiating into the foot, usually, this pain is worsened by walking (or weight-bearing activities).

The double crush hypothesis was first formulated in 1973 and states that axons that have been compressed at one site become especially susceptible to damage at another site. [1] This theory was originally described by Upton (1973) in a study of 115 patients. A comprehensive electromyographic study of 115 patients with carpal-tunnel syndromes or ...
Introduction. Pronator Teres Syndrome (PTS) is a compression neuropathy of the median nerve at the elbow. It is not as common as compression at the wrist which is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). PTS and CTS present similarly, however PTS can be distinguished by a lack of sensation in the distribution of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median ...
Cubital tunnel syndrome is a progressive entrapment neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at the medial aspect of the elbow. The ulnar nerve, which is a motor and sensory nerve, is formed from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, which originates from nerve roots C8 and T1. [7] [8] [9] The ulnar nerve travels down the posterior aspect of the arm to ...
