I was asked about a hand condition called ape hand. It was news to
me. If I remember correctly the apes at the zoo have their arms hanging
down with wrists flexed. So I might surmise that ape hand is a
condition where a lesion to the radial nerve prevents efforts to extend
the wrist. Please comment.
