Wasting of small muscles of hand?

Wasting of the small muscles of the hand, often referred to as atrophy, can be caused by various conditions such as nerve damage, muscular dystrophy, or prolonged immobilization. This condition can result in weakened grip strength, decreased dexterity, and difficulty performing fine motor tasks. Early diagnosis and intervention, including physical therapy and rehabilitation, are crucial for improving hand function and preventing further muscle loss. In some cases, addressing the underlying cause may help restore muscle mass and strength.
