Deep brain stimulation may provide immediate improvement in arm and hand strength and function weakened by traumatic brain injury or stroke. Deep brain stimulation may provide immediate improvement in ...

Split hand is a phenomenon where muscles on one side of your hand weaken. It often has links with early ALS, though some other rare conditions may also cause it. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) ...

Split hand syndrome is a potential sign of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This means that some of the muscles in the hand are weak and thin (atrophied), while others are less affected.
