Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
6. Weak Grip
We have evolved to have a fairly strong grip. It may not be as strong as some other animals, particularly those that live in trees, but it is still strong enough for us to grasp tightly onto objects and to lift heavy objects. This may not be the case in people that have cubital tunnel syndrome, however.
A lot of patients with the condition will find that their grip becomes weaker than it usually is. This is because the brain begins to lose the ability to send signals to the muscles that allow us to grip. This is another sign that you should arrange to see your doctor, regardless of the suspected cause.
