What causes a paretic movement?
Paretic movement means a weak movement.
This happens when you lose a nerve that supplies muscles, but you still have OTHER muscles that produce the movement that are innervated by a nerve that was not lost.

Falling on your head/shoulder.
Pullin a baby by their head.
What will you see in someone that has upper brachial plexus injury? What 4 things are lost?

What will happen if you have a lower plexus injury?
Main injury is to ulnar nerve = CLAW HAND, AND sensory loss among the anterior medial side of the forearm!!!! SENSORY LOSS IS IMPORTANT TO DIFFERENTIATE FROM ULNAR NERVE INJURY!!!!!
Ulnar nerve injury causes claw hand, how exactly does this happen (what muscles are affected)?
You will lose medial 2 lumbricals (pinky and finger next to it) so those fingers' MP joins will be extended and the IP joints will be flexed.
