Hand weakness

Hand weakness involves a reduced strength in one or both hands, affecting grip and dexterity. Common causes include nerve compression (such as carpal tunnel syndrome), muscle injuries, and neurological conditions like stroke or multiple sclerosis. Other potential causes include arthritis, tendonitis, or systemic diseases such as diabetes. Persistent hand weakness necessitates medical evaluation to identify the underlying cause and determine appropriate treatment.
