1. Hand Palsy

2. Ulnar nerve palsy
This occurs due to nerve compression at the elbow (cubital tunnel) or at the wrist (Guyon's canal) (Ulnar canal)
Muscle weakness and atrophy predominate the clinical presentation

3. Ulnar nerve palsy/Causes
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Frequent bending of the elbow
Leaning on the elbow, resting it on an elbow,  rest during a long distance drive  or running machinery may cause repetitive pressure and irritation on the nerve.
A direct hit on the cubital tunnel may damage the ulnar nerve
Guyon's Canal Syndrome
A cyst within the canal.
Clotting of the ulnar artery.
Fracture of the hamate bone.
Arthritis of the wrist bones

4. Ulnar nerve palsy/Causes
Symptoms & signs:
numbness and tingling in the ring and little finger and the sides and back of the hand. At Guyon's Canal, sensory supply to the skin of the back of the hand is spared.
The hand may become weaker resulting in trouble opening bottles or jars
Clawing may occur in the ring and little fingers
 Froment's test: by asking the patient to hold a piece of paper between their thumb and index finger (hence checking adductor pollicis). In a patient with Ulnar nerve palsy the interphalangeal joint of the thumb will flex to compensate
Treatment:
Nonsurgical therapy: elbow or wrist splints to limit mobility in addition to an anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen.
Surgical decompression maybe required in some cases

6. Froment's test

7. Radial nerve palsy
Aka:
wrist drop
Saturday night palsy

8. Causes
Caused by excessive compression of the radial nerve against a hard surface in individuals insensitized by the intake of alcohol or sedatives
Broken humerus
lead poisoning 
Stab wounds to the chest at or below the clavicle. Damage the posterior cord of the brachial plexus
Symptoms:
Wrist drop
Occasionally, the back of the hand may lose feeling

9. Wrist Drop

10. Erb’s Palsy
Aka:
Waiter's tip deformity
Erb-Duchenne Palsy

11. Erb’s Palsy
Due to brachial plexus damage, by excessive lateral neck flexion away from sholder:
Forceps delivery
Falling on the neck
Leads to loss of the lateral rotators of the shoulder, arm flexors, and hand extensor muscles.
The position of the limb, under such conditions, is characteristic:
the arm hangs by the side and is rotated medially;
the forearm is extended and pronated.
The hand is flexed
The arm cannot be raised from the side; all power of flexion of the elbow is lost, as is also supination of the forearm

12. Erb’s Palsy The three most common treatments from Erb's Palsy are:
Nerve transfers (usually from the opposite leg),
Sub Scapularis releases
and Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Transfers.
Although range of motion is recovered in many children under one year in age, individuals who have not yet healed after this point will rarely gain full function in their arm and may develop arthritis
