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.
When certain nerves in the arm are completely cut, the way muscles respond doesn't follow the usual pattern where smaller movements happen before bigger ones.
When a nerve is cut and then reconnects to the same or similar muscles, the body can relearn how to use those muscles in the right order again.
When certain nerves in the arm are completely cut, the muscles don't work in the right order because the nerve fibers grow back in the wrong directions.
