Flail limb

Okay, so imagine if you have a toy that has long arms and legs that can move around in different directions. Now, picture if one of those arms or legs got hurt and you couldn't control it anymore. It would just swing around and move in all kinds of crazy ways, kind of like a noodle dancing in the wind! That is what we call a flail limb.

Sometimes when people have an injury or nerve damage, their arms or legs might become flail limbs. This means that they can't control the movement of that limb like they normally could. It can be really frustrating and make it hard to do things like move around or pick up items. But with help from doctors and therapists, people can learn how to manage their flail limb and still do things they love.
