Inabilities

Wrist Drop:

  • Due to the deep branch of my radial nerve was affected and also due to the muscles loss in the surrounding area,I have Wrist Drop.
  • Wrist Drop leads weakness in my shoulder joint and pain in the triceps.
  • I also can't bend or extend my elbow joint due to Wrist Drop.

Fingers Movement:

  • I am not able to fold my fingers properly.
  • I can able to bend my middle finger, ring finger & small finger (75 %)  and index finger (50 %).
  • There is a slight movement in my thumb finger(20%).

All because of the muscle loss during the accident.
