  cycling injuries | handlebar palsy
In the case of cyclists, shock and vibration are transmitted directly from the handlebars to the arms – and to the ulnar nerves in each arm, raising the risk of ulnar neuropathy.
Handlebar palsy should never be taken lightly: in severe cases which go untreated, the ulnar nerve may become compressed due to swelling of surrounding muscles and connective tissues, and its ability to transmit messages to the muscles of the forearm may be significantly reduced.
For example, a cyclist suffering from handlebar palsy might continue to cycle in an upright position which does not require body weight to be supported by the hands, wrists, or forearms (on a stationary cycle, for instance).
