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].
