A member asked:
Would 70-90% sensory loss(radial nerve in wrist) be considered a diability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radial Neuropathy: Sensory loss from the radial nerve is considered an impairment. It is only a disability if it prevents you from being able to do a job or participate in society. Numbness by itself is almost never a disability as it rarely effects function.
