Upper Limb & Hand Function After Neurological Injury (Brisbane)
Changes in arm and hand function can have a big impact on independence. Tasks like dressing, eating, or using a phone can suddenly become difficult or frustrating.
What this might look like day to day
Weakness in the arm or hand
Reduced coordination or control
Difficulty gripping or holding objects
Reduced sensation
Struggling with fine motor tasks
Why this happens
Neurological conditions can affect how signals are sent between the brain and the muscles.
This can impact strength, coordination, and sensation, making everyday hand and arm use more challenging.
