    Pronator teres syndrome can cause compression of your median nerve, leading to pain and disability in your arm. Some careers require constant use of specific muscle groups, like the pronator teres in the forearm, which can lead to injury over time. [livestrong.com]

    Hand function may be impaired but disability from this problem is rare. There are no tests to really confirm the diagnosis. Electrodiagnostic tests are typically used to confirm other nerve compression problems. [loptonline.com]

    Upper extremity nerve entrapments are a common cause of pain and disability. The increase in repetitive motions associated with occupational and recreational environments usually is singled out as the primary cause of these problems. [massagetoday.com]
