ERBS palsey waiters tip what nerve roots damaged
c5-c6
how can ERBS come about
birth or falling on the neck
what are the signs of erbs
arm adducted - axillary - deltoid
wrist is flexed - radial nerve damage
arm is pronated - biceps are strong pronators - musculocutaneous nerve
elbow extended - msucculocantenous - biceps brachioradialis and carcoidbrachialis
what does the axillary nerve supply c5-c6 moter
deltoids -abductors
tres minor-abductors
what does the axillary nerve supply sensory
regimental badge area lower part of the deltoid
potential areas of damage for the axillary nerve
surgical neck of the humerus or shoulder dislocation
result of axillary nerve damage
15-90 degrees loss of abduction sensory loss over the deltoid muscle wasting of the deltoid
Musculocutaneous C5–C7 moter suplly
Biceps, brachialis, coracobrachialis flexors of the elbow
biceps - supinators
sensory supply of the musclucutanous
lateral forearm
result of the musculo.cut.n damage
Weak elbow flexion + supination, lateral forearm numbness
radial nerve c5-t1 moter supply
Triceps, wrist and finger extensors extensor compartment
what is the sensory supply of the radial nerve
Posterior arm, forearm, dorsum of hand (thumb side)
injury sites of the radial nerve
axilla - crutches satarday night - wrist drop and unable to extend
midshaft fracture of the humerous wrist drop and back sensory loss in the back of the forearm
c5-t1 median nerve moter supply
Most forearm flexors, thenar muscles, lateral lumbricals LOAF
median nerve injuries
Carpal tunnel, supracondylar fracture, wrist laceration
what are the clincal results of median nerve injury
Hand of benediction when asked to make a fist cant flex 1-3rd digit , thenar wasting, loss of thumb opposition
ulnar c8-t1 moter innervation
Intrinsic hand muscles, FCU, FDP (medial part)
injuries of ulnar nerve
Medial epicondyle, cubital tunnel, Guyon’s canal
clincal findings of ulnar nerve damage
Claw hand, weak finger ab/adduction, hypothenar wasting
Klumpke’s Palsy C8–T1 (lower trunk) mode of injury and result
Traction of arm (e.g., hanging, birth injury breech ) claw hand weak grip
Winged Scapula
nerve = Long thoracic nerve
injury = Trauma surgery
result = Medial border of scapula lifts off wall when pushing
