Disfunción del nervio radial

El nervio radial baja por el brazo y proporciona movimiento al músculo tríceps en la parte posterior del brazo. También proporciona extensión a la muñeca y ayuda en los movimientos y sensación de la muñeca y la mano. Las causas usuales de disfunción nerviosa son el traumatismo directo, la presión prolongada sobre el nervio y la compresión del nervio por parte de estructuras cercanas.
