Upraised suggests the position is being held, and often that it means something — a hand upraised to swear an oath, to stop traffic, to greet a crowd, to strike. That is the difference from plain 'raised': raised can be about the action, upraised is about the picture.

Very occasionally you see it for other things held aloft, such as an upraised sword or an upraised banner, but the body-part use is by far the commonest.

組成up- + raised (the past participle of raise). The up- adds nothing to the meaning of 'raised' except a sense of holding the position — English has many of these up- words that feel more literary than the plain form.
