same as dermatome - but for motor movement

lumbosacral plexus:

which major nerves come from the lumbar plexus? [3] what are nerve roots?

Study These Flashcards

which major nerves come from the lumbar plexus? [3]
femoral nerve: L2, L3, L4
obturator nerve: L2, L3, L4
lateral cut. nerve of thigh: L2 & l3

femoral nerve provides motor supply to which compartment of thigh? [1]
what movement does this cause? [2]
main muscles of anterior [3]

Study These Flashcards

femoral nerve provides motor supply to which compartment of thigh? [1]
anterior

what movement does this cause? [2]
flex hip
extend knee

main muscles for ^?
quadriceps
sartoruis
iliopsoas

what can damage femoral nerve? [3] basic understanding x what would damage to femoral nerve cause? movement wise xo

_what can damage femoral nerve? [3]_ •Compression – from treatment for congenital hip dysplasia •Pelvic fractures •Anterior hip dislocations (very very rare) _what would damage to femoral nerve cause?_ - paralysis of quadriceps - sensory loss to anterior thigh

**obturaror** nerve provides motor supply to which compartment of thigh? [1] what movement does this cause? [1] main muscles of this? [1]

* *obturaror** nerve provides motor supply to which compartment of thigh? [1] * *medial compartment** what movement does this cause? [1] **adduction of thigh** main muscles of this? [1] **adductors**

lateral cutaenous nerve occurs from which Vert levels? [2] what is role? [1]

lateral cutaenous nerve occurs from which Vert levels? [2] **L2 & L3** what is role? [1] sensory innervation to lateral aspect of thigh

which three nerves arise from sacral plexus? [3]

_which three nerves arise from sacral plexus? [3]_ •Sciatic nerve (Tibial and common peroneal nerves) •Superior gluteal nerve •Inferior gluteal nerve

sciatic nerve provides motor supply to which compartment of thigh? [1] what movement does this cause? [2] main muscles of this compartment [3]

what are the 3 muscles compartments of the leg (knee - foot) what are the muscle movements each compartment do?

Posterior compartment of leg: - two compartments of postior? [2] - innervation? [1] - movement? [2] - blood supply? [1]

Posterior compartment of leg: - two comparments: **superficial & deep** - innervation: **tibial nerve** - movement: **plantar flexion, flexion of digits** - blood supply: **posterior tibial artery**

what are these posterior superficial muscles? [3] what do they all insert onto? movement?

all insert onto: **achilles tendon - plantar flexion !!!!**

plantaris muscle

gastrocnemius muscle

posterior dep compartment: innervation? movement? [2] blood supply?

posterior dep compartment: innervation: **tibial nerve** movement: **plantar flexion, flexion of digits** blood supply: **posterior tibial artery**

anterior leg compartment: innervation? movement? [2] blood supply?

anterior leg compartment: innervation: **deep peroneal nerve** movement: **dorsiflexion, extension of digits** blood supply: **anterior tibial artery**

lateral leg compartment: innervation? movement? blood supply?

lateral leg compartment: innervation: **superficial peroneal nerve** movement: **eversion** blood supply: **fibular artery**

which nerves provide sensory innervation to the image? [2]

fracture to the neck of the fibula can cause damage to which nerve? - sciatic nerve - posterior tibial nerve - anterior tibial nerve - superficial peroneal nerve - common peroneal nerve ## Footnote **why?**

fracture to the neck of the fibula can cause damage to which nerve? - sciatic nerve - posterior tibial nerve - anterior tibial nerve - superficial peroneal nerve * *- common peroneal nerve** **wraps around the neck of the fibula - vulnerable to fracture !**

what happens when u get damage to common peroneal nerve? [1] why? [2]

what happens when u get damage to common peroneal nerve? [1] **foot drop** why? [2] **provides innervation to anterior and lateral compartment of leg - only innervation is to the posterior - unnaposed plantar flexion**

damage to sciatic nerve is characterised by? [3]

oFoot drop oWasting of hamstrings, calf muscles and dorsiflexors oLoss of Achilles reflex

what do Gluteus Medius and Minimus do when walking?

Gluteus Medius and Minimus **contract to cause hip stabilisation & keep pelvis in alignment**

a postive trendelenburg test is likely to occur from damage to which nerve? superior gluteal nerve inferior gluteal nerve femoral nerve common peroneal nerve superficial peroneal nerve

a postive trendelenburg test is likely to occur from damage to which nerve? **superior gluteal nerve** inferior gluteal nerve femoral nerve common peroneal nerve superficial peroneal nerve

A ! - least risk of neurovascular damage

which nerve would you be likely to hit if you did IM in D? - sciatic nerve - posterior tibial nerve - anterior tibial nerve - superficial peroneal nerve - common peroneal nerve

which nerve would you be likely to hit if you did IM in D? * *- sciatic nerve** - posterior tibial nerve - anterior tibial nerve - superficial peroneal nerve - common peroneal nerve
