Abstract Objectives: To compare the effect of ultrasound versus nerve gliding on hand grip strength in treatment of patients with cubital tunnel syndrome. Design: Pretest posttest experimental design using random sampling. Setting: Cairo University,cairo, Egypt. Subjects: forty subjects with Cubital tunnel syndrome. Intervention: Participants were randomly subdivided into two matched groups, the first group was the group A who received ultrasound therapy combined with rigid elbow night splint as three session/week, the second group was the group B who received nerve gliding combined with rigid elbow night splint as three session/week. Both groups treated for six consecutive weeks. Main measures: Clinical assessment of hand grip strength by hand held dynamometer pre and post treatment. Results: Group B showed significantly more improvement in hand grip strength than group A. Conclusion: nerve gliding technique in treating patients suffering from cubital tunnel syndrome is more effective than ultrasound therapy on hand grip strength.
