Digital nerve compression in a violinist with benign hypermobility - A case study |

| Abstract |
Although epidemiological studies suggest that benign hypermobility may be common in musicians, few reports have linked this disorder to nerve entrapment. A case study is presented of a college level violin student whose hypermobility led to a digital nerve entrapment. The examination of the patient is described along with the diagnosis and treatment. A therapeutic programme of splinting and exercise led to rapid resolution of the problem. |
