A member asked:
Could i correct an arm size/strength imbalance from radial nerve palsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radial nerve palsy: Which affects the muscles of the arm or forarm cannont be corrected in terms of size of the muscles unless the source of the palsy is corrected. For a chronic situation though, typically tendon transfers are used to improve funciion. These are quite well laid out, tendon transfers, and any hand surgeon can assist in discusing the details.
