A Localized Brain Lesion Resulting in Isolated Hand Weakness
Hand weakness is a common concern of patients who are seen by a physiatrist, either in an inpatient or outpatient setting. The differential diagnosis of isolated hand weakness is broad and includes trauma; musculoskeletal injury; arthritis; overuse syndromes, for example, carpal tunnel; peripheral neuropathy; radiculopathy; and central nervous system disorders. There is limited literature regarding stroke as a diagnosis for isolated intrinsic hand weakness, but, for patients with risk factors, stroke should be considered in the differential diagnosis [1].

Economic Evaluation of Adult Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials in a Variety of Settings
Conclusions: Based on this systematic review and meta-analyses, a single rehabilitation service may not provide health economic benefits for all patient groups and situations. For some patients, inpatient rehabilitation may be the most cost-effective method of providing rehabilitation; yet, for other patients, rehabilitation in the home or community may be the most cost-effective model of care. To achieve cost-effective outcomes, the ideal combination of rehabilitation services and patient inclusion criteria, as well as further data for nonstroke populations, warrants further research.
