28
common causes of median nerve entrapment (carpal tunnel syndrome)
trauma, obesity, fluid retention, pregnancy, hypothyroidism, RA
29
common causes of median nerve entrapment (pronator teres syndrome)
hypertonicity of the muscle caused by things such as occupation (carpenters, mechanics)

common causes of ulnar nerve entrapment
direct trauma or repetitive microtrauma
31
common causes of radial nerve entrapment
trauma, lead poisoning, pressure from crutches
32
common causes of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment
external pressure, obesity, tight jeans
33
common causes of sciatic nerve entrapment
trauma, traction, wallet pressure, piriformis, muscle spasm
34
treatment for median nerve entrapment (carpal tunnel syndrome)
adjust, cock up splint, diuretic, vitamin B6
35
treatment for median nerve entrapment (pronator teres syndrome)
trigger point therapy, spray and stretch
36
treatment for ulnar nerve entrapment
adjust, tape and support
37
treatment for radial nerve entrapment
adjust, increase strength, stretch
38
treatment for lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment
advise with weight loss and loose clothing
39
S/S for median nerve entrapment (carpal tunnel syndrome)
nocturnal pain, paresthesia of the hand, thenar atrophy, weak opponens pollicis (ape hand), affects the first 3 fingers
40
S/S for median nerve entrapment (pronator teres syndrome
pain on volar aspect of the forearm, paresthesia in median distribution of the hand (first 3 fingers), pain with pronation and has thenar atrophy
41
S/S for ulnar nerve entrapment
pain, tingling and numbness in the last 2 digits and weakness of the adductor pollicis (claw hand), hypothenar atrophy
42
S/S of cubital tunnel syndrome
pain, tingling and numbness in the last 2 digits and weakness of the adductor pollicis (claw hand), hypothenar atrophy
weak wrist flexion on ulnar side
43
S/S for radial nerve entrapment
wrist drop, loss of triceps reflex, decreased sensation to posterior arm
44
S/S for lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment
burning dysesthesia on anterolateral thigh (L2, L3 nerve roots)
45
S/S for sciatic nerve entrapment
sensory pain in the posterior buttocks, thigh, leg down to floor. weak knee flexion and decreased achilles reflex
46
tests for median nerve entrapment (carpal tunnel syndrome)
tinel's sign, phalen's, thumb abduction strength, grip strength, dynamometer
47
tests for median nerve entrapment (pronator teres syndrome)
pinch grip test
48
tests for ulnar nerve entrapment
tinel's, froment's
49
tibial nerve entrapment causes
posterior traumatic ankle deformity, subluxation, arthritis, edema
50
morton's neuroma causes
repetitive microtrauma, RA, or foot deformities
51
deep nerve entrapment causes
trauma (tibial fracture), repetitive loading and unloading
52
tibial nerve treatments
adjust, orthotic support to keep foot in slight inversion

morton's neuroma treatments
surgery may be necessary
54
deep peroneal nerve treatments
fasciotomy

S/S of tibial nerve entrapment
burning paresthesia on soles of feet, aggravated by walking or standing
decreased sensation on soles of feet and weak muscles of foot
56
S/S of morton's neuroma
pain in toes and dorsum of foot
57
S/S of deep peroneal nerve entrapment
can affect any and all four muscles of that compartment (tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, peroneus tertius)
S/S similar to charcot marie tooth
