  2. Radial nerve dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_nerve_dysfunction

    Radial nerve dysfunction is a problem associated with the radial nerve resulting from injury consisting of acute trauma to the radial nerve.The damage has sensory consequences, as it interferes with the radial nerve's innervation of the skin of the posterior forearm, lateral three digits, and the dorsal surface of the lateral side of the palm.

  3. Radial neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_neuropathy

    There are a number of terms used to describe radial nerve injuries, which are dependent on the causation factor such as: Honeymoon palsy from another individual sleeping on and compressing one's arm overnight. [11] Saturday night palsy from falling asleep with one's arm hanging over the arm rest of a chair or edge of bed, compressing the radial ...

  4. Cheiralgia paresthetica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheiralgia_paresthetica

    Cheiralgia paraesthetica (Wartenberg's syndrome) is a neuropathy of the hand generally caused by compression or trauma to the superficial branch of the radial nerve. [1] [2] The area affected is typically on the back or side of the hand at the base of the thumb, near the anatomical snuffbox, but may extend up the back of the thumb and index finger and across the back of the hand.

  5. Radial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_nerve

    The radial nerve is a nerve in the human body that supplies the posterior portion of the upper limb.It innervates the medial and lateral heads of the triceps brachii muscle of the arm, as well as all 12 muscles in the posterior osteofascial compartment of the forearm and the associated joints and overlying skin.

  6. Nerve compression syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

    Certain occupations, postures, and activities can put prolonged pressure on a nerve. The term "Saturday night palsy" is used for a radial nerve injury caused by prolonged compression of the nerve at the spiral groove. The origin of the term is due to the association of the condition with a night spent in alcoholic stupor with the arm draped ...

  7. Crutch paralysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crutch_paralysis

    Crutch paralysis is a form of paralysis which can occur when either the radial nerve or part of the brachial plexus, containing various nerves that innervate sense and motor function to the arm and hand, is under constant pressure, such as by the use of a crutch. [1] This can lead to paralysis of the muscles innervated by the compressed nerve. [2]

  8. Radial tunnel syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_tunnel_syndrome

    The theory is that the radial nerve becomes irritated and/or inflamed from friction caused by compression by muscles in the forearm. [1]Some speculate that radial tunnel syndrome is a type of repetitive strain injury (RSI), but there is no detectable pathophysiology and even the existence of this disorder is questioned.

  9. Wrist drop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist_drop

    Lead poisoning–Wrist drop is associated with lead poisoning due to the effect of lead on the radial nerve. [1] Persistent injury–Persistent injury to the nerve is a common cause through either repetitive motion or by applying pressure externally along the route of the radial nerve as in the prolonged use of crutches, extended leaning on the ...
