Helloo guys,
Just imagine, what if your hands won’t work the next morning. Its horrible to imagine. Without hands we can’t do any work possible to think. Most important thing for steemians, we can’t post and can’t earn 😛.
Hand is the “tool of tools”.
-Aristotle
Its very important to test the functioning of our hands. Especially the power and sensations of Hand. Many a times most of the dreadly diseases show their signs in hands, like Leprosy.
We might neglect some simple symptoms like tremors in hands, numbness and loss of power. But they may indicate a serious problem behind it. An unhealed ulcer with loss of sensations over the lateral(outer) half of the hand may indicate leprosy.
This is reason to test our hands and integrity of nerves involved in our hands.
It will be quite funny and simple also.
First of all, we need to find the major nerves involved in our hands and the muscles they supply.
