What is meant by hand and arm problems?



Hand and arm problems are when you have difficulty using the hand or arm to complete normal tasks you were once able to do. People with neurological conditions may have problems with their hands due to paralysis, muscle wastage, nerve problems, lack of sensation or muscle weakness.
