By AOSM expert physiotherapy and orthopaedic team in Delhi

Introduction

In today’s digital-first world, on the desk and in front of the screen, a series of musculoskeletal issues have been formed-the most common cubital tunnel syndrome. Particularly prevalent between office staff and corporate workers, this situation often does not get any attention until it begins to affect daily life.

At AOSM, our goal is not only to treat such conditions but also to help prevent them. With our advanced expertise in arthroscopy, joint care, and physiotherapy, we are committed to bringing you back to a pain-free, active lifestyle.

What is cubital tunnel syndrome?

Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve, which passes through the elbow, is compressed or irritated. It is responsible for tingling sensation in the ring and small fingers and incoordination of small hand muscles.

General Symptoms:

• Numbness or tingling in the ring and small fingers
• Hand weakness or clumsiness
• Pain on the internal side of the elbow
• Difficulty in catching objects or long typing

Why is corporate staff risk

Corporate professionals are rapidly affected by this situation:

• Poor ergonomic setup
• Excessive elbow bending while using a phone or a laptop
• Long-term desks work without brakes
• Wrong-hand conditions during sleep or rest

If you are working as a software developer, accountant, or any job with long hours at the workstation, then you are at high risk of developing cubital tunnel syndrome.

AOSM’s Approach to Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

At AOSM, we believe in personalized, evidence-based care. Our treatment model includes:

1. Accurate Diagnosis
Using advanced diagnostic tools and clinical evaluation, our orthopedic doctors and physiotherapists identify the severity and root cause of your symptoms.

2. Non-Surgical Treatment First
Most patients benefit from a combination of:

• Activity modification
• Ergonomic advice
• Splinting (especially at night)
• Anti-inflammatory medication

3. Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
Our international-standard physiotherapy team designs tailor-made exercises to reduce pressure on the ulnar nerve, improve strength, and restore function.

4. Surgical Intervention (If Required)
If conservative treatments fail, we offer minimally invasive decompression or ulnar nerve transposition performed by experienced arthroscopic surgeons for optimal results.

Preventive Office Exercises & Ergonomic Tips

Whether or not you have symptoms, integrating a few stretches and movement routines into your day can be game-changing.

5-Minute Desk Routine for Cubital Tunnel Prevention:

1. Ulnar Nerve Glides
How: Extend your arm out to the side with your palm up. Bend your elbow slowly while keeping your wrist straight. Reverse.

Reps: 10 reps, 2–3 times/day

2. Wrist Flexor Stretch
How: Extend one arm straight with palm up. Use the other hand to gently pull fingers back toward the floor.

Hold: 20 seconds, switch arms

3. Shoulder Rolls
Why: Prevent upper body tension that can increase nerve compression.

Reps: 10 forward, 10 backward

4. Neck Tilts
How: Gently tilt head side-to-side, then front and back. Keep movements slow.

Reps: 10 in each direction

5. Elbow Extension Stretch
How: With your palm facing down, straighten your arm and lightly press at the elbow with the other hand.

Hold: 15–20 seconds per side

Office Ergonomic Checklist

A quick workspace upgrade can drastically reduce your risk of nerve compression:

• Elbows should be at a 90-degree angle while typing
• Keep forearms parallel to the floor
• Use a phone headset instead of cradling the phone
• Take a 2-minute break every 30–45 minutes
• Keep keyboard and mouse at elbow level
