The Claim

Following median nerve section at wrist level, where reinnervated muscles have more synergistic actions, orderly recruitment by size appears to be re-established in humans.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

Description

1 study reviewed

In plain English

When a nerve in the wrist is cut and then heals, making nearby muscles work together better, it seems like the body starts using those muscles in a more organized way again.

Study: Patterns of reinnervation and motor unit recruitment in human hand muscles after complete ulnar and median nerve section and resuture.
The study looked at exactly what the claim described—cutting and reconnecting a nerve in the wrist—and found that muscles started working together in an organized way again, just like the claim said.
