25
Q

What if there are absent reflexes and sensory loss in the distribution of the nerve?

A
  • The lesion is found within the afferent arc of the reflex

- Lesion is either in the nerve or dorsal horn

26
Q

What if absent reflexes accompany paralysis, fasiculations, or atrophy?

A
  • The lesion is found withing the efferent arc of the reflex

- Lesion may include the efferent nerve, anterior horn cells, or both

27
Q

What nerve roots are involved in throacic outlet syndrome?

A

commonly C8 and T1
-see issues in the ulnar nerve distribution
second most common: C5, C6, C7
-see issues in radial nerve n. distribution
