DETAIL:

DESCRIPTION:
A,
Serious damage to the
brachial plexus results in
various paralyses and deformities of the upper limb. The “claw
hand” seen in this figure is the result of damage to the
superior part of the brachial plexus (a fairly common birth
injury). The short muscles of the hand are most affected. B,
“Wrist drop” is caused by damage to the terminal brachial plexus
nerve, called the radial nerve. It innervates the long extensors
and the skin of the extensor surface of the arm and forearm.
When the extensors are paralyzed, the healthy flexors pull the
wrist down making it difficult to grasp objects.
