Abstract:
This report presents two cases with a radial neuropathy caused by compression between the spiral groove of the humerus and a hard wheelchair surface. One case involved the arm rest and the second a hard, vertical support of the back of the wheelchair. Close attention to the placement of the upper arms in relation to the surfaces of the wheelchair is required to avoid this complication in wheelchair users.
