Rt shoulder hangs low and have slight hand and wrist weakness but good muscle strength in arm. clean ncs and emg but still feels awkward. cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoulder injury: Perhaps, you injured your shoulder on that side some time ago and it never healed properly or left you with mild weakness in the hand and wrist without being severe enough to be detected on emg/ncv studies. Rehabilitation exercises may improve function. Have you had radiographs of the shoulder?
