Q

C8 Parasthesias

A

Little finger alone or with tow adjacent fingers; not ring or long fingers, alone or together (C7)

24
Q

T1 dermatome

A

Medial side of forearm to base of little finger

25
Q

T1 myotome, reflex affected, and paresthesias

A

Disk lesions at upper 2 thoracic Levels do not appear to give rise to root weakness. Weakness of intrinsic muscles of the hand is due to other pathology (e.g. thoracic outlet pressure, neoplasm of lung, ulnar nerve lesion)

26
Q

T2 dermatome

A

Medial Side of upper arm to medial elbow, pectoral and midscapular areas

27
Q

T3-T12 dermatomes

A

T3-T6: upper thorax

T5-T7: costal margin

T8-T12: abdomen and lumbar region

28
Q

T3-T12 myotomes, affected reflexes, parasthesias

A

Articular and dural signs and root pain are common. Root signs (cutaneous analgesia) are rare and have such indefinite area that hey have little localizing value. Weakness is not detectable
