Bad design: The ulnar nerve is exposed to the outside world as it crosses the cubital tunnel in the elbow. Avoid those plastic chairs with rigid arm rests and done put any pressure on the nerve. Sometimes physiotherpy helps. Often times however surgery is needed to translocate the nerve to a safer (protected by bone) area in the elbow. There is also something called a shelf epicondylectomy procedure.
