hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As you had a car accident which we call it a RTA - Road Traffic Accident. During RTA there will be a high strain injury to the muscle fibers and that lead to weakness as well. Muscles act by providing the support to the skeletal system and its also acts as protective. This looks like a muscle fibre injury , a deep hurt which has led to weakness in the muscle system.

I will advice you to perform some exercises, which are simple to regain the strength of the muscles and tendons wrist and hand should be strong again. This is very common complain I receive in my clinical practice. Most of them respond well to physical exercise.

Regards
