Radial Nerve Palsy Physiotherapy in Karachi | Home Rehabilitation for Wrist Drop

Radial nerve palsy occurs when the radial nerve is injured or compressed, leading to weakness in wrist and finger extension—often called wrist drop. It may cause difficulty lifting the wrist, reduced grip control, numbness on the back of the hand, and weakness in arm function. Common causes include humerus fracture, prolonged pressure on the arm, or nerve compression. At Dr Rizwan Physiotherapy Home Service, we provide professional radial nerve palsy physiotherapy in Karachi through personalized home physiotherapy for radial nerve injury, focusing on improving wrist control, hand function, and daily activity performance.

Our rehabilitation programs are customized according to the patient’s symptoms, severity, and functional goals, with practical training designed for safe recovery at home.

Physiotherapy for Wrist Drop (Radial Nerve Injury)

Radial nerve palsy often causes wrist drop due to reduced wrist extensor muscle activity. Physiotherapy focuses on maintaining mobility, improving strength, retraining functional movement patterns, and supporting safer daily activities. Guidance is also provided to avoid further nerve irritation.

Recovery depends on the cause and severity, but regular physiotherapy can significantly improve wrist control, hand function, and daily activity performance.
