Ulnar Nerve Glides EXPLAINED

The video tutorial covers variations of ulnar nerve glides, explaining their use for patients with adverse neurodynamics, post-concussion syndrome, and other conditions like numbness and entrapment. It provides detailed instructions for two methods of performing the glides, emphasizing the importance of head and wrist movements. Adjustments for intensity and the test-treat-retest model are also discussed.

Which of the following conditions might benefit from ulnar nerve glides?

• Hypertension

• Diabetes

• Adverse neurodynamics

• Asthma

What is the initial position for the first variation of the ulnar nerve glide?

• Head tilted towards the hand, elbow extended

• Head straight, elbow bent

• Head tilted towards the hand, elbow bent

• Head tilted away from the hand, elbow extended

In the first variation of the ulnar nerve glide, what movement is performed?

• Bending the elbow while tilting the head away

• Straightening the elbow while tilting the head away

• Tilting the head towards the hand

• Flexing the wrist

How does the second variation of the ulnar nerve glide differ from the first?

• It requires standing only

• It focuses on wrist movement

• It involves elbow movement

• It uses a different hand sign

What modification can be made if the second variation of the ulnar nerve glide is too intense?

• Add more repetitions

• Perform the glide faster

• Lower the arm into less abduction

• Increase the wrist extension
