  Fig. 1 Ulnar neuropathy at the midarm after exercising on parallel bars. A: The midarm support position on parallel bars (arrow). B: A conduction block was found between 12 and 14 cm above the elbow in the left ulnar nerve in the initial NCS. C: This conduction block had recovered in a follow-up NCS. D: Enlarged cross-sectional area of the left ulnar (arrow) and median (arrowhead) nerves in initial ultrasonography. E: Decreased cross-sectional area of the left ulnar (arrow) and median (arrowhead) nerves in follow-up ultrasonography. F: Cross-sectional area of the unaffected right ulnar (arrow) and median (arrowhead) nerves for control. NCS: nerve conduction study.
