paresthesia |
-feeling what isnt there -pins and needles -pain |
|
|
motor innervation |
-paresis-paralysis -profound atrophy |
|
|
Erb's Palsy |
- upper brachial plexus - ventral rami c5 and c6 - etiology- forceful separation of head and shoulder i.e. childbirth, motorcycle accident - sensory loss- lateral arm and forearm - motor loss- - shoulder flexion, abduction, er - elbow flexion - forearm supination - wrist extension - will have tip takers posture |
|
|
Klumpke's Paralysis |
- lower brachial plexus - ventral rami c8, t1 - etiology- forceful separation of arm and trunk - sensory loss- ulnar side of arm, forearm, and hand - motor loss - wrist flexion and extension |
|
|
ulnar nerve neuropathy |
etiology- falling on elbow - sensory loss- posterior to medial epicondyle- ulnar distribution to hand and fingers - results in claw hand when patient attempts to fully extend all joints of hand - hypothenar compartment atrophy and area of DABS will atrophy |
|
|
Guyon's Canal neuroapthy |
- between pisiform and hamate - etiology- laceration of wrist - sensory loss- ulnar distribution of fingers - claw hand. more claw hand in wrist injury than elbow injury |
|
|
radial neuropathy |
- site of injury- radial groove of humerus - etiology- crushing injury i.e. crutch palsy, saturday night palsy - sensory loss in posterior forearm, and maybe posterior arm. radial side of dorsum of hand - WRIST DROP - possibly atrophy in posterior compartment of arm. def atrophy in posterior forearm
|
|
|
carpal tunnel syndrome |
median nerve - site of injury- carpal tunnel - thumb loses opposition and tone is held more in reposition - profound atrophy- in thenar compartment
|
|
|
axillary neuropathy |
- surgical neck of humerus - etiology- fracture at surgical neck, GH dislocation, anterior shoulder dislocation - sensory loss at sargent stripes - motor loss- deltoid, teres minor - NO hallmark posture - deltoid atrophy
|
|
|
long thoracic nerve neuropathy |
- site of injury- medial wall of axilla - etiology- trauma - sensory loss- none - motor loss- serratus anterior - hallmark posture- winged scapula |
|
|
suprascapular nerve neuropathy |
site of injury- entrapment @ suprascapular notch beneath transverse ligament - suprascapular and infrascapular fossa; prominence of scapular spine |
