You are joyfully reading your anatomy text while sitting in a wooden armchair. After an hour or so of reading, you end up falling asleep with your elbow on the arm of the chair and your chin nestled nicely in the palm of your hand. A few hours later you wake in sudden agony only to realize that you have compressed your ulnar nerve at the elbow. Where would you expect the sensor loss and pain to be localized on your upper limb? Why? What sort of motor difficulties might you experience and why? Why might your hand assume a claw-like position (ulnar claw hand)?
