About function loss
Need to know
-
Symptoms of function loss from an old nerve injury? icon plus
The main symptom of function loss from an old nerve injury is paralysis. -
Assessment of function and muscles icon plus
Longstanding and permanent nerve damage causes lack of movement, which in itself is diagnostic. At times, EMG and nerve conduction studies might be requested to confirm the quality of the muscles that need to be transferred. -
Potential treatment options icon plus
Through surgery, less essential muscles are detached from the bone and redirected onto a new one to restore some of the lost movement.
