Line 106:
Cubital tunnel syndrome is more common in people who spend long periods of time with their elbows bent, such as when holding a telephone to the head.<ref name="pmid17267675"/> Flexing the elbow while the arm is pressed against a hard surface, such as leaning against the edge of a table, is a significant risk factor.<ref name="pmid17267675"/> The use of vibrating tools at work or other causes of [[repetitive stress injury|repetitive activities]] increase the risk, including throwing a baseball.<ref name="pmid17267675"/>
Damage to or deformity of the elbow joint increases the risk of cubital tunnel syndrome.<ref name="pmid17267675"/> Additionally, people who have other nerve entrapments elsewhere in the arm and shoulder are at higher risk for ulnar nerve entrapment.<ref name="pmid17267675"/> There is some evidence that soft tissue compression of the nerve pathway in the shoulder by a bra strap over many years can cause symptoms of ulnar neuropathy, especially in very large-breasted women.{{cn|date=March 2024}}
