The outcome was assessed using the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale and measurement of grip and pinch strengths of the hand at minimHSS journal : the musculoskeletal journal of Hospital for Special Surgery2-7https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4733688biostudies-literatureUseful Functional Outcome Can Be Achieved After Motor Nerve Transfers in Management of the Paralytic Hand.
