title: Transient ulnar neuropathy from Nordic skiing.
abstract: Ulnar neuropathy can be caused by forceful poling in cross-country skiing. The condition appears to be elicited by extension of the elbow with concomitant contraction of the flexor carpi ulnaris and triceps while driving the arm and shoulder downwards and behind the body.
